Best Trophy Whitetail Deer in Wisconsin

Wisconsin ranks first in the nation for Trophy Deer hunting.  Story by weau.com

If you're looking to bag a trophy buck next fall, the DNR says you're living in the right state.

According to records kept by the Boone and Crockett Club, Wisconsin is the number one state to find a big buck. The club says the number of trophy bucks harvested has risen by 857% over the past 3 decades, and 383 record breaking bucks were harvested from 2006 to 2010.

The club says that's because Wisconsin has good deer range and more refuges, which allow bucks to grow older.

Bill for Crossbow Hunting

Hunters disagree on a new bill proposing crossbow hunting. Story from wpr.com

The Assembly Natural Resources Committee is considering a bill that changes guidelines for weapons that may be used to hunt certain animals.

The Wisconsin Bowhunters Association is backing the legislation which allows crossbows to be used during the gun-deer season, bear season and small game seasons. However the proposal would not change existing law that bars use of the weapon during the archery-deer season.
