Well, the preliminary numbers are in for the Wisconsin gun hunt this year....20% less bucks shot and about 20% less does shot compared to last year!  Now, this is a sign that the efforts of lowering the deer herds in the last couple years has worked and I hope they don't keep the season set up the same way it is now!  If they keep letting people buy as many doe tags as they want over the counter and make people shoot does before they can shoot their bucks, there won't be much for a deer hunting opportunity in a few years.  It was a slow season for any hunters I talked to in Wisconsin, both for bow season and gun season.  Let's hope that the season will be changed next year so we can start seeing more again.  I know of a couple guys that shot 9 does each out of the same woods and only saw a couple small bucks all season!  This is not a good sign. (Shooting 18 does out of the same 40 acre parcel of woods during bow season doesn't help bring in anymore deer though, thats for sure.)  I just hope they put a little more restriction on how many does can be taken. I'm not saying that people shouldn't shoot does, because I shoot a couple does every year, but they shouldn't allow someone to shoot 9, that's a little unneccessary I think...Just sharing my opinion on that.
