Public Land Deer Hunting 

By: Jordan Marsh 

It’s no secret that Wisconsin is a top tier and destination deer hunting state.

We all work so hard to make sure that we’ve done our scouting, hanging tree-stands, planting food plots and more all to await hunting season. For me, in Wisconsin, Bow hunting for white-tails begins on September 14 and I put my cameras out the first week in July. I anticipate this time greatly and get very excited for that first camera pull. Continue Reading →
