Hunter new 2 MNO!!!

[wi2mnhunter]

Hi Everyone!

I'm 26 years old, grew up in WI and have been an avid deer hunter since I was 12    Three years ago I decided to chase a doe (college sweethart) to the west metro for her job.  Getting back to WI to hunt has presented many challanges, mostly $ and time.  I can only see it getting worse once we have kids someday 

I look forward to exploring the site/trailcam photos!

Hi Cody,
I live in St. Louis just off of Hwy 100.  I now realize why my parents live in the boonies!   You know of any good public land for deer hunting west of the metro?  Willing to drive a ways if there are some good honey holes.

wi2,

You'll need a public hunting atlas,plan on heading west about 2hours to get away from the crowds,lots of land to scout,once the crops are down you can figure it out pretty easy.

I live in Chanhassen. there is some public land but sense its so close it gets a crazy amount of pressure. you can find some good land, just gotta put in the work and get away from the crowds.

Thanks for the info.  Sounds like I would be better off paying the $160 to hunt WI and know that no one will walk under my stand.  Only about an hour drive to my parents land south of Ellsworth, WI.  I attached a pic of the 8-pointer I shot last year.

Nice looking buck you got there.  I take it you gun hunt only?

[wi2mnhunter]

It would appear so with the orange backtag, but I took that buck bowhunting.  Saw him the night before, but too far out of range.  It was a horrible shot in the ass, but I must have hit a main artery becuase he pilled up about 60 yards from my stand.  I like bowhunting 10x more than gun!!!!

Welcome WitoMnhunter
 You hang around here long enough and maybe attend a tackle swap somebody will invite you on a huntin trip. I just know it.  You are right about them two legged deer with skin that is already tanned in the sun. If it weren't for them a guy would be fishing or hunting daily.
