Mike Foss Buck taken January 2012
OWO writer Mike Foss, who specializes in bear guiding in Bayfield County, has seen a severe decline in deer numbers over the last several years with bear numbers increasing. Entering the final week of the 2011 archery deer season, which took him into January of 2012, his tag still was not filled. Mike took his scouting into no-man’s land three miles from the nearest house, found several good bucks grouped together on trail camera, and killed the smallest buck with days left in the season.
