Whitetail cam pic, Wisconsin

Postby Freebird134 » 08 02, 2012 •  [Post 1]

I moved to wisconsin a couple years ago and am trying to nail down this whitetail hunting. I hunt public land and pretty much just spots real close and convenient to my house, so I'm not too choosy. I've been working pretty hard trying to find deer that other people aren't exploiting, and I think it's paying off! Just checked my cams and I've got a lot of bucks and a couple really nice ones. Just thought I'd share this guy I found today. I'm stoked.

Literally next to the city limits boundary, next to a county park. I think a lot of guys overlook it.

Nicest one:

That spider web kinda makes it tough to judge, but this guy is probably a shooter in my book. Well, not probably. he's a shooter in my book:

For being 10 minutes from Madison, on the edge of a suburb and next to a park that people frequent, and on State land.....I think it's going to be a pretty good spot!

Maybe a little weak on that left side, but still shaping up to be a decent buck

City parks can house some awesome deer. I lived in the South suburbs of Chicago for a year and loved to watch the deer in some of the preserves. Most people never even noticed them. Of course, they were perfectly safe!

Sent you a PM. I'd love to know some more spots. And make sure you don't kill my buck! Haha :)
