    Encouraging Article on CWD in Missouri

    Wisconsin did plenty to try and stop the spread. They handed out antlerless tags like candy at a parade to thin the herd. You could get 4 free antlerless tags every day if you wanted to. They made it to where you could gun hunt till the end of March I believe. They also implemented earn a...

    DNR controlled burns

    Not sure where exactly you're located but the WI DNR does it too. Down by us, they burn the badger ammunition plant every spring and seem to always burn it when it's high fire time. Many people have complained about it but of course the DNR I'd exempt. Also last year Ft McCoy did a controlled...

    Snapshot Wisconsin

    My cousin was part of this program for years and within the last year it became such a hassle with the demands that the dnr wanted that he sent the camera back and told them where to go. First it was the camera had a vine hanging in it and that wasn't natural, next it was he couldn't have it...

    Wisconsin legislators author bill to reduce doe harvest in Northern Zone

    With the current check in station being all online or call in, how many does will still get shot and never reported. It's happening now all over and I can only imagine it will be worse when guys are only seeing does and no bucks. Super easy to shoot a deer and have it skinned and butchered...

    Roundup Power Max

    I'm wondering if anyone has used Roundup Power max that's 48% gly compared to regular products with 41% gly. Normally I spray our RR beans after they've emerged and don't know if the higher dosage would stunt or kill them.

    Are the glory days of deer hunting coming to a close?

    Since gun season, my cousin has talked to just about all of our neighbors within a 2 mile radius of our land. A total of 24 bucks got shot between bow and gun season. Only 2 of those bucks were 4.5 or older. Same old story of got excited when I saw him so I shot and yeah I shouldn't have shot...

    Wisconsin Gun Opener Saturday

    Opening weekend was terrible as far as deer sightings go. The slaughter of 2 and 3 yr old bucks just makes me want to cry. Within a mile of us 4 2 yr olds and 2 3 yr olds bit the dust. And that's just what we know about. Another Amish guy who has already shot at least 3 deer during bow season...

    Hunting / recreation and timberland values in your location?

    The Amish have the money to buy whatever/however much land they want. They have endless amounts and if it's anything like in our area, they find the landowners who love them and kiss a$$ and eventually get the land offered to them at a huge discount.

    Are the glory days of deer hunting coming to a close?

    Our issue in our area are Amish. They claim they are gonna pass the 2 and 3 yr olds because "they want to shoot bucks like us". Then comes bow season and the excuses come out, well he came in so quick and he looked good so I shot, or the well he was outside the ears so I shot. Gun season is...

    Kansas lawmakers threaten wildlife department funding

    Wisconsin took the approach when CWD hit to thin the herd and issued free doe tags. You could get 4 free doe tags every day if you wanted to. On top of that, they had EAB for the state to encourage the slaughter of does. The population plummeted to the point that neighbors stopped shooting does...

    What is the clearcut process?

    We clearcut our woods almost 10 years ago. We agreed to only leave oak trees. We had 1 logging company that took the sellable logs and another company took the junk trees for pulp or other stuff. I will say when they were finished, we questioned if we made the right decision to clearcut it. It...

    release method in Wisconsin- advice welcome!

    We always broadcast rye into standing beans when the leaves start to turn yellow. We always have a good stand of rye the following spring. You shouldn't have any issues broadcasting as long as you get some rain within a week or so.
