Bow or gun? 21 Replies

I was wondering if anyone has ever tried bow hunting during gun season and if so how successful they were. I love my bow and I shoot much better with it, so I'm very tempted to take it instead of my…

"Bail Out" among top boat names

Inspiration for boat names is limited only by the imaginations of boat owners. The names of spouses, pets, favorite movies and whimsical expressions grace sterns across our watery republic. Sometimes the name even has a link to current events. One such name cracked the top 10 in 2009, according to an annual report by BoatUS, a boating organization based in Alexandria, Virginia.

Turkey bill or turkey of a bill?

A bill was introduced in the Legislature last week that would substantially change the turkey hunting season framework in Wisconsin. Senate Bill 481 would create a continuous statewide 6-week spring turkey hunting season, eliminate geographical zones and do away with the preference system for awarding permits. If signed into law, the bill would basically allow hunters to buy a turkey permit and go hunting anywhere in the state.

Turkey permits in the mail

The Department of Natural Resources will issue more than 149,000 permits for the 2010 spring turkey hunt in Wisconsin. Postcards will go out in the mail this week to successful applicants, according to the department. I don't know about you, but it's my most eagerly anticipated mail delivery of the year. The 2010 season will run April 14 to May 23; the youth turkey hunt is set for April 10 and 11.

NRB approves more bear tags for 2010

At its Wednesday meeting in Madison, the Natural Resources Board approved a 22% increase in permits for the 2010 Wisconsin black bear hunting season. As a result, Wisconsin will issue 8,910 bear permits this year; the harvest quota is set at 5,235. The increase was recommended by the Department of Natural Resources and supported by the Bear Committee of the Wisconsin Conservation Congress.

Worker drowns on Lake Winnebago reef project

A contractor died Tuesday when his rock-laden truck broke through the ice on Lake Winnebago while working on a fisheries project. The accident occurred Tuesday morning about three miles east of Oshkosh. The worker was dumping rock as part of a reef construction project funded by Walleyes For Tomorrow, according to Mike Arrowood of Fond du Lac, chairman of the conservation club. Neenah-Menasha Fire Rescue, Winnebago County Sheriff’s Department dive team and Oshkosh Fire Department personnel responded to the scene. But the worker, an employee of Stuart's Landscaping of Fond du Lac, was unresponsive.

7 Tips For Deer Hunting Public Land

1. Get a map. Preferably a topo map and an aireal photo of the area where you'll be hunting. You can find good topo maps on the Internet at several areas or contact the USGS for an index. A good map will show you many things. Some of the things you'll be wanting to look for are: where are other hunters parking, areas that will funnel deer into a tight area such as saddles in ridges, potential feeding and beddeing areas, waterways, old roads, etc.
2. Do your scouting. This should go without saying, but you'd be surprised at how many just pick a place and go hunting without ever setting foot on the place. Prepare for success by using some boot leather to get the feel of the land and to try and pattern both the Deer and Deer Hunters!
3. Pattern the Hunters. Since you'll likely have company from other Hunters when visiting Public Hunting area, get to know where they park and the areas that they'll likely be hunting. Use this information to determine Where Not To Hunt! You can also use this information to determine likely areas where these Hunters will push the Deer as they're coming and going to their stands.
4. Hunt the Midday. It doesn't take long for Deer to pattern the Hunters. They know that most Hunters will be out of their stands by 9 a.m. (many much sooner) and walking around before heading back to their vehicles for coffee, lunch and a nap. Plan on hunting during the midday hours. I can't tell you how many Bucks I've seen from 11 to 3 on Public Hunting land. If you've done your homework and are set up away from the other Hunters, you may be pleasantly surprised at a visit from a Buck during the midday when other Hunters are back at their trucks taking a Siesta.
5. Call the Manager. Part of your pre-hunt scouting should be a call to the Manager of the Public land where you'll be hunting. They can provide valuable information on Hunter access and likely spots to find a Buck during the Hunting Season. They can also let you in on how the Deer herd is doing and clue you into what the Deer are feeding on.
6. Plan on getting your Deer out. Many Deer Hunters never plan on how to get their Deer out once they have it down. They never think about it until they are faced with the daunting task of dragging a Buck out of the woods. It would be smart to invest in one of the Big Game Carts
advertised in the Outdoor catalogs.
7. Think outside the box. As I said earlier, Deer pattern Hunters much better than Hunters pattern Deer. If most hunters are Hunting fields or easy to reach areas, do something different. Find thickets or other areas where Hunters will not hunt. Swamps and overgrown clear cuts are two of my favorite areas to hunt on Public land. I love to hear Hunters say "That area is too nasty to hunt, you can't see very far in there". That's the kind of place I want to be. The group of guys I grew up hunting with were the first to hunt the flooded timber for Deer. No one else would put on wader and go in after the Deer. Now, many people will but few are successful because the lack the patience and experience to still hunt the flooded timber properly. Do and go where other Hunters will not!
