I've shot 5 deer from that spot and before that it was my older brother stand..My brother checked with the county and someone did place a bid to cut that woods.. So having not been there for couple weeks we aren't sure our woods won't be buzzing with skidders and cutters, We are all hopping they don't get started working until after deer season. Then for next year for sure we will have to scout new place to be. Just one of them things have to deal with on public land. My original stand in that area was cut over after tornado went threw, That was 11 years ago and they salvaged cut all that. It's now young pines so thick can hardly walk in there..

We had more deer movement at our gun club after it was logged then before. The deer will love the new growth. Sure, the patterns will change, but don't count that property out at all.

Yep I know we will all survive the cutting have for years now. The piece we hunt is 2X3 mile square and we have hunted that same piece since the mid 1970s..Back then I moved 3 times due to the way they cut it in different patterns. In fact where we are now is because the place we started in 70s was clear cut so we moved to east side. That piece is actually grown up now and maybe where we move back to once this piece we are on is cut? I may just have to move across the big marsh I sit along now. Other side of marsh was cut several years ago..There is another group of guys though that are on other side of the marsh.. We'll figure it out all ways do. May just have to sit closer to the edge of the pines they planted on the storm cut. That is kind of what we doing now. They just decided it was time to cut all older growth all the way around the 10 year old storm cut.

I forgot about Friday night sight in. Truck loads of corn when there is no baiting in the surrounding
3 counties lol my parents have a supper club/ small bar up here so I got the full effect of the shackers
Growing up. Can still go there on the Friday night of opener and see the same people from 20 years ago
Telling the same Stories at the bar. I don’t mind people coming up north. Deer season just hosts a lot of rude
Folks from southern wi and Illinois that are on a care free bing when there up here.
Good luck to all the hunters this coming week, be safe and Respect the north woods.

Understand your disgust and frustration. We all see this around the state. Probably has been this way for many years.

Last year I went to a local church on Friday night before the opener for a hunters stew supper. I got the squirts so bad I missed opening morning.

I don't think I will have any stew this year

I thought I would add some eye candy to add to the excitement. This was from last year.

1 to 1 1/2 inches of rain Wednesday and Thursday now. 31 o for high on Friday hopefully stiffens the rain and mud up a little bit. 9 days of woods, and family. Happy Happy

The ground up by us has been frozen for 2 weeks in Langlade county, and the forecast is for less than half an inch of rain Wednesday day then cooling down some Thursday night. Hoping to get out ice fishing again on Friday so I'm not tempted to be out in the woods. We had 4.5 inches on a nearby lake last Friday.

The deer kill Is going to way down In Rock Dane and Iowa counties this year. Thousands of acres of standing corn and It's not going to be harvested till late Dec. First few shots and all the deer will be In the corn.

Throw La Crosse County on that list. With the rain they are predicting I doubt any more will get but.

You guys got to drive them corn fields with mass of guys, get them big bucks moving.. No chance for any accidental shootings doing that. Right?
Have seen some nice bow shot deer shot doing STALK and sneak in corn field..Much safer..

Drives are like guns, they aren't dangerous, if done correctly. Pushers don't shoot. Posters have very specific shooting areas. Identify target before shooting.

I can just imagine 3 guys stalking through 8 foot corn watching for deer. Some body could get shot just as easy in that scenario.

Probably wouldn't get shot In corn field but you might get lost LOL
The corn rows In our fields around here are pretty tight and you would have a tough time just walking through them. And how do you drive a 200 acre corn field?
