Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting Intersting article on the current state of bowhunting

In Wisconsin , deer crossbow sales were up about 5,000 tags, regular bow sales were down 12,000 and gun sales were down about 14,000 tags. The only tags going up are crossbow but regular bow is declining even more. It is a good/ bad thing. Wisconsin was over run with deer hunters. That is changing and it is easily noticeable that there re less hunters in the woods. Northenr WIs. deer hunter numbers are down about 75%, and by the third day , there are almost no hunters on the public lands.. There are almost no bowhunters up there and the ones that do shoot a deer with a bow, there is a 90% chance it was done over bait.
