Our group always hunts public land in Shawano and Waupaca County. Only one deer came from Waupaca County this year. We got a total of 12 deer for the pole.
I got a doe on Monday, a half rack 4 point on Wednesday, and a nice 8 pointer on Friday that dressed out at close to 210 pounds. I has 2 very nice dagger points on it, and is already at the taxidermist.
Overall, the numbers are very low, as I think we did good because alot of big groups were not driving everything out until the second Saturday.
I keep in touch with many people in the state, and no one did good. The bow hunting really stunk, as I never saw a deer. My cousin was out almost every day, and he says he saw a grand total of 15 deer with the bow. He finally got a doe in range, and that was his deer...he usually gets a nice buck every year! The DNR needs to re-structure the hunt, as wardens up where I was hunting said the whole state will probably be earn a buck next year.
