    Bozeman: is it really that bad anymore?

    This is from a while ago........but based on my experience the original poster was spot on with his assessment of VRBO, etc based on my experience. I lived next to a VRBO on a lake (I rented a place next door). It was a constant influx of people and the owners did a poor job of checking who was...

    2023 March Madness

    Rough if you had Arizona going far, didn't see that one coming. Go Marquette!

    Ice fishing

    Has been an interesting start to the winter, had to deal with some crazy slush limiting access. The heavy snow in northern Wisconsin has really insulated the ice, much less ice thickness than most years at this time. Have been doing pretty well when I've been getting out

    Stolen Opportunities....a very sad elk tale. We must do better!

    I would also be in favor of lost cripples counting toward your duck bag limit

    MN Trout Stream Fish Kill

    Pretty sad to see this over in Minnesota's driftless area. Contaminated runoff will continue to be a major issue for our waters. I think these issues are solvable, but will probably take some regulations and changes in practices. Unfortunately many rural politicians and the farm lobby would deem...

    Canadian Lake Packing list

    Husky Jerks or small swimbait, like a Kalins Tickle Tail on a Jighead for walleye I'd add some ned rigs for bass, you can catch walleye once in a while on those as well Spinnerbaits for Pike

    Nothing but opinionated BS

    Glad you enjoyed Wisconsin, although you didn't even drive through the best part in my opinion. In defense of Minnesota, you definitely missed the good stuff. I have never been east of Michigan.......reading this thread doesn't look like I'm missing much. Also, I've never heard of people in...

    The nature of antlers

    I'm not a huge antler guy, but I do keep all of them. Not sure why, quite a few are just out in the garage. For me it is mostly a tag issue. I am guaranteed a buck tag in northern Wisconsin good for public or private. Doe tags in areas can be harder to come by where deer densities are low and...

    Irresponsible public land shooters

    That really sucks and I don't blame you for not confronting. Some of these people feel that their "rights" mean they can do whatever they want. Haven't run into shooting in Wisconsin yet thankfully, the woods is too thick for the long distance rec shooting crowd which keeps them out. Litter is...

    CWD research

    Killing all the deer is a major exaggeration of what is being attempted and I'm guessing you know that. Complex problems likely don't have clear and easy solutions. This is particularily troublesome for politicians who feel critical thinking is posting cute little memes attacking the opposite party

    What hunting clothing brand do you use??

    A mix of Sitka, Simms, Drake, Carhartt, First Lite.......all were gifts or bought on sale. I remember getting pretty good deals on some First Lite stuff back when they had the realtree pattern and were discontinuing it

    Wisconsin using taxpayer $ to compensate deer farms with CWD issues.

    Article says about 3,000 per animal is the maximum and is coming from federal funds

    Wisconsin using taxpayer $ to compensate deer farms with CWD issues.

    I would love to see the game farms gone as well, unfortunately the politicians regularly elected in northern Wisconsin won't let that happen. That and DATCP, not the DNR, is in charge of most of the regs for these farms causes problems as they are going to be more sympathetic towards deer...
