    By Jim Gatzke I’m not sure why the bug never bit me, but most assuredly I had never taken to hunting, and the Opening weekend of deer hunting was never anything I looked forward to. It’s not like I didn’t have an opportunity to grow into the hunting experience. As the youngest of five boys in my family, with a father who loved t...

    A blogger added up the deer license sales in just a handful of states and arrived at a striking conclusion: There were over 600,000 hunters this season in the state of Wisconsin .... Allow me to restate that number: 600,000! Over the last several months, Wisconsin's hunters became the eighth largest army in the world. (That&rsquo...

    This bear captured on trail camera at northern Wisconsin muzzleloader stand should perhaps consider the Den.  Two feet of snow and subzero temperatures in many areas north are the norm.

    By Kelsey Jannke On 11/23/2014, the second day of the gun deer season I shot my first deer. I was on private hunting land near Pardeeville, WI. When I sat down in my tree stand it was still rather dark out. As I started to look around I soon realized there was a dark figure off in the distance that I hadn't seen there during past hunting trips . I...

    By Jim Olsson Hopefully this is the time of year when everyone is kicking back and reminiscing on another gun deer season.  Now whether you judge your own success by how many packs of venison hit the freezer or simply by time spent with your family and friends, by the time you read this we will be at least into muzzleloader season and possibl...

    Steve Suman The welcome, though too brief, break from winter this past weekend is now history as winter weather again makes its mark. Forecasts call for another four to six inches of snow accumulation through Monday night, accompanied by up to 30 mph wind gusts. Not great – but it is also not Buffalo! Deer hunters enjoyed mild temperatures ...

    OWO Bear Expert Mike Foss says this bear was caught sneaking a last meal in before the big snow ‘put him to sleep’ in Bayfield County.

    We don’t know much about this buck submitted by a reader, but we know it is a Wisconsin buck recently caught on trail-camera. We also know he is between Superior and Racine. Good luck.

    Hunters beware. Weather in the Lake Superior Country of Northern Bayfield County could have and likely will have a huge impact on deer and a hunters’ success.  The recent snow storm dumped many inches in the Northland.  Snow has settled some but Lake effect snow doesn't seem to want to let up in the higher elevation areas....
