Deer hunting?

[outdoor ran]

Has anyone heard yet if there are any major changes to the Wi. deer season this fall?

[Swamp Scooter]

I have gotten an e-mail from the guy setting it up. I guess there will be NO October T-zone hunt for the next 2 years, for sure. There will be a December T-zone hunt for antlerless only instead. There is also a change in the licenses. The T-zone tags will be $2 each even for out of state hunters. Over the counter. This is what he sent me:

There is no EAB in northern WI. You will be in a Herd Control unit,

however, and you will be able to purchase as many of the $2 tags as you

want. They will be valid the day you buy them as long as the season is

open.

Main message: The harvest ratio should be 2:1 antlerless to antlered

this year. We need that for herd control

I have a major change to add: I'm gonna shoot me a big 'un this year! ...Maybe ...Hopefully ...Probably not

You can't shoot the big one thins year. I already have him tied up out on the back 40 for my son to shoot. (it's his first year)

I'am going to shoot a big one for sure.Only mine will be in North Dakota and thats if they find it in thier heart to draw my name.Otherwise bow only.At 2 dollars for a non residents,thats a fair deal.ND charges 50 clams for a extra doe and they have more tags than they can usually get rid of.

If you're gonna invite me to come hunt with you in ND don't beat around the bush, just ask!

If I see a monster you'll know cuz the newspaper headlines will read something like,"Eau Claire hunter shatz himself, misses buck, and falls out of treestand"

Well shoot all you want in your area. Mine is in Iron River. He is big too, and he has friends! I am hoping to see a pig one of these years. What a picture hanging from the meat pole. Full of deer and the token hog!
