5 Steps for Approaching a New Deer Property I met a guy who knew a guy, and that's how I secured permission on one of the best properties I know. But then the work began; to hunt it effectively, I had to learn the property and what the deer are doing on it.
Approaching a new property can be a daunting task, particularly if it's a sizable piece of land. The property I just referred to is three quarter sections large, that's 480 acres. Roughly half of it is covered in a matrix of old growth aspen and spruce forest.

Bowhunting Success in Wisconsin My buck was shot in Sauk county Wisconsin; it was during the 2006 bowhunting season. It was early October and the rut had not started yet. He presented me with about a 20 yard shot quartering away in a cut hay field. He weighed 250 lbs and has 9 points scoring 130 B/C.
