Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting I got it bad

Bingo!

I know what you saying. Usually it does not happen until late Aug to Sept. But I've been thinking non stop now for 2-3 weeks. Visiting gun shops, driving around the woods, etc.

Every now and then the 90% humidity breaks and it gets cool at night I think my neck swells and gets really bad.

Scott,

Ya know I've never thought about wolves the way you put it. But I believe you are right. A hunter would probably have no serious files charged if he killed another person while hunting. But you shoot a wolf, man pick out a rope you like because you'll be hung. Sad to say, but its the truth.

With the recent bear population estimate from the UofW, the bears may be having their fair share too.

Yeah, little difference in the estimated bear population from the DNR numbers compared to the UW numbers. *L* Perhaps they'll issue a few more bear tags in the future?

Difference betwixed the bears and wolves is that you can get a tag for a bear..... I think I read somewhere that a single wolf is good for 20+ (maybe more) deer a year. And, they don't just take the weak or the fawns whereas the bears are taking the newborn deer in the fawning season.

I've heard the same thing on the wolves taking 20 deer or somthing like that.

DNR missed the boat on the bear numbers that's for sure. MN gives out a ton more tags, kills a ton more bears, you can't run with dogs, and I have seen WAY more bear in WI. By a large margin.

Maybe the bears can start eating some wolves. PETA will probably protest them too.

If you took the dog hunters out of the equation, you'd likely get a bear tag in WI every other year. While I don't dismiss their involvement and roll in the sport - and think people have a right to hunt the way they wish, I don't agree with each group of dog hunters having every Tom, Dick, Harry, third cousin and forty guys from the mill apply for tags so they can shoot a half dozen bears a year. That's nonsense.

SSS for me on the wolves in WI.

Wolves, what wolves?

If you want to enjoy hunting up here now, with little competition get a muzzleloader...Hunting like it used to be....Crowds are gone, lots of deer, and bait piles are gone too...

Ssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......Don't ruin it sgt....

What is a muzzy ldr these days. I have not seen too much out this summer. I like the Triumph but havn't seen and around. I used to have an Encore and sold it to a friend I worked with. He likes to remind me how good it shoots and what a deal it was. Oh yeah and how he would never sell a gun like that. I just can't justify the coin they want for an encore now, espicially since I don't think I paid $500 for it then.

Yeah, I thought of that, but it's usually cold enough and snowy enough, I don't worry too much....
