    Lifelong resident of Wisconsin here. Public land in Wisco will be VERY difficult either bow or gun season. It is hunted VERY hard during both but it can be done successfully and there are big bucks to be had. Hopefully this experience hasn't spoiled your desire to try Wisconsin in the future. Consider yourself very lucky to be granted permission on that private land as very few people will allow hunting on their land. Best of luck to you on your next Wisconsin adventure.

    I know what you are saying. I live in Ohio and they drive deer like that here too. I find deer that are shot up every year. I will not shoot at a running deer. I have a lot of respect for you for doing the humane thing and putting that deer out of its misery. Thanks for educating the public on the reality of hunting ethics and the respect we have for the animals. Trump 2024!

    Yup Welcome to Wisconsin. First time watching you. Glad to see someone who says Public land actually hunting nondraw open public land. To many UA-camers say Public Land and there hunting. Land Trust. Conservancy. And even Parks usually closed to hunting. But open up areas occasionally to control the heard.

      Yea I’m pretty opportunistic when it comes to hunting land. I’ve killed my biggest two deer on public and both were deep where I had to quarter and pack them out. I got nothing against private or trust or whatever has the deer but it usually ends up public for me. Was glad to get to hunt the private 10 acres as well. Thanks for watching.

    Being a lifelong resident of Wisconsin, I can attest that the gun season sucks. It is nothing but a crap shoot. Too many people out there desperate to shoot something. Stick to bowhunting it is a lot better. Or wait until after the 9 day gun season and go muzzleloader hunting. I have shot some of my biggest bucks during the muzzleloader season and I see probably ten times more deer than the regular gun season. Most idiots are out of the woods after Thanksgiving.

    • @HuntSoloPublic

    Wounded deer is a part of hunting. The percentages may vary, but it happens every where. Just do your best to make a clean kill. You are young and maybe never wounded a deer, but if you ever missed a deer, you could have woulded it instead.

    • @HuntSoloPublic
      @HuntSoloPublic  11 місяців тому

      I have wounded many deer and mistakes happen especially when it comes to bowhunting. I understand drives are very effective to harvesting game quickly but it is very hard to make a quality and ethical shot at a running animal.

    Be very careful walking through the woods out here in WI. 3 weeks ago I tore my ACL on the right leg. Can't field dress. Still can hardly put any pressure on the right leg.
    Tripped on one of those damn vines. BTW What camera are you using! Nice pics.
    Drives: Jefferson County outside (north) of Evansville, WI
    Unfortunately, they do drives on a farmer's land that my blind faces. The day they do the drives I will not hunt that day. Someone will get hurt or die the way they do it.
    One person in each corner of the field and the field is 430 sq yards. They are using shotgun and .308. Around the field is where the guys are doing the walking through the woods to spook the deer into running into the field.
    After they are done they will BBQ (and several beers) then start shooting off tannerite and misc objects one year we hear full auto being used.
    I already witnessed a deer shot from 300+ yards from a guy's blind there. The first shot missed and sorta spooked the deer the second shot the deer went down but was in obvious distress until he finally walked over to it, 10 minutes later, and finished it off with another shot. I just can't stand to see a deer jumping all over and obviously crying in pain.
    It started out where the farmer only let the one guy hunt then that guy let his buddy come who let HIS buddy come. Last drive they had 12 people out there. It is getting way outta hand and they will shoot at anything that walks/runs. One day the police and coroner will be out there and only THAT will put an end to this BS.

    • @HuntSoloPublic
      @HuntSoloPublic  10 місяців тому

      Sorry to hear about the ACL that's unfortunate. Your experiences definitely hit the nail on the head. I'm sure some people do drives safely and well but its the careless ones that are worrisome. I've been a part of a dog drive down here in Georgia and shot 4 deer with buck shot in less than 30 seconds. It was a well coordinated effort at a friends club with a safety briefing at the beginning. People are spread out far enough for safety and the dogs do the work. Just keep an eye out for the dogs and let the 12 gauge do the rest. The drive in Wisconsin seemed very accident prone.

I've gotten to the point where I don't hunt opening weekend of rifle season except a couple spots on my farm. Too many people shooting, and I like to hunt when it's nice and quiet. I can't imagine doing a deer drive with people shooting everywhere.

    Hope you enjoyed your hunt, but your video presents one problem I have as a Wisconsin resident hunter. You are able to come here buy over the counter tag for $160 and got permission on a small piece of private land. Even if a deer drive ruined your hunt, consider yourself lucky to come here without having to draw a tag and spend $500 like other midwest states. We have too many hunters here and no offense, but out of staters need to be much more restricted here. Too many people treat this place like the grocery store, residents included.

    • @HuntSoloPublic
      @HuntSoloPublic  10 місяців тому +1

      Yea I’m not buying the whole “let’s restrict non residents” it works for you if you never plan to hunt in a different state. I’m also fine with lottery drawings and think that positively affects the quality of the experience. I knew the low tag costs and low barrier for entry would mean more pressure and I don’t mind hunting pressure. 10 acres of private land was nice but my experience goes to show it’s not always better. I have had similar experiences on public land and it’s part of the deal when you sign up for it. Thanks for expressing your opinion and watching.

Then said he was "done" we have plenty of free doe tags in Wisconsin. I'm a bigger fan of earn a buck than this guy traveling to shit on our season. We have more deer than GA, we have a shorter season than most states ( as far as being able to shoot a buck with a rifle) yet in our 9 day deer season we shoot more deer than in 45 other states.
      Now our deer seasons run consecutively so the 9day rifle, 10day muzzleloader, and the 4day doe hunt run right after each other. By the second weekend of rifle the deer are pressured. Deer drives have been a thing, especially from Thanksgiving on, since before our grandparents hunted. It is part of our hunting safety class. The drive can be dangerous but way more hunters get hurt by their treestands than drive accidents ( the DNR keeps accident records to look up)
      He clearly was expecting a low pressure hunt because he was mad at the neighbors for driving their property. Unless you have a very large section of private land that's not going to happen.
