DNR is going to issue free deer licenses (gun, bow, and crossbow) to kids under 4 years old starting in 2018.
Also, anyone in the family can shoot the deer for the kid and the kid doesn't even need to be with them.
"Novice shoots new world record Typical whitetail in WI with his bow."
"Crossbows Recruit New Hunters!"
Muskybuck concedes Bayfield Co. could use a few more wolves and a few less deer. LOL!
Some brazen individual going by the handle “RC” originally started this thread but his comments were removed but the higher powers left the thread title. It’s all so simple long term but very confusing short term.
Firles proven to not exist!!!
Caitlyn Jenner fondled Bruce for 50 years.
Jeff from mn is really a Viking fan
The youth hunt actually is a good thing.
Come on man its a joke!!!
Wisconsin needs better hunters...we have too many deer and they are just not very good at hunting.....so in 2018 we are implementing a "Car season" to coincide with spotlighting.
Firles take more deer and turkeys than wolves and yotes combined.
"Pasquinell loves the youth hunt so much he invites all youth 3 and up to hunt his property"
Holey smokes, am I glad these two really are fake news:
Firles don't exist. (I actually saw one today while treating buckthorn. I tried to wack him with my spray wand but I missed.)
Me a Viking fan, man anyone knows that is fake news. Go pack. Kick some butt.
Elk sells Pasquinell 200 acres for $2.00 so he can hold a youth hunt since he doesn't own land.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO All ! Oh no.. are we allowed to say that?
Wisconsin regains it’s number one status amoung Bowsite state forums even without “Are See” and no active baiting thread!

Durkin says that Bowhunters are the reason that the archery kill is up. Anybody knows the Cross gunsare the reason. Durkin is up to his old tricks pitting gunhunters against bow hunters again. He is so pro cross gun it’s pathetic.
Huntcell. I don’t think that’s fake.
WDNR has a huge surplus in cash from the cross bow license sales . They decide to buy 500,000 wild hogs from Texas . The hogs will be released and ready to hunt in every county . The wild hog hunt takes over . The whitetail deer hunt becomes cold toast . 4 year old youth hunter gets eaten by a pack of wild hogs . DNR exterminates the remaining hogs and dumps all the carcuses in Lake Michigan . Whitetail deer is back bigger than ever .
The Vikings win the Super Bowl
Compound users will not drop their compound for the crossbow, crossbow users will be gun hunters and new recruits coming to the bowhunting season, a win, win for everybody.
Bowhunting, as described by the P&Y Club is alive and well, growing everywhere.
Crossbows are not easier to shoot and more accurate than compounds, too clunky to carry.... and good shots with compounds are just as accurate.
Crossbows will not increase the archery kill, over compound use.
Crossbows are not 100 yard weapons.
Crossbows have been around for centuries, true....... but today's technology has not.
Big money created crossbow seasons and use....not true, hunters buy crossbows and choose to use them, mostly former users of compound bows and new recruits.
Fake news everywhere!!!!! What is more disturbing is that some hunters actually are happy to believe the above statements.
MF if they did they would have to remodel the new stadium. They had no reason for a trophy case before!
Trapper, that was very true!
News alert! WI DNR trades surplus cheese to the Inuits in Northwest Territories for 45 musk ox to serve as a second course for the growing wolf population. Native Americans can hunt and shoot musk ox but need a casino chip in pocket in leau of a license.
Mike Brust decides to go with a crossbow
Rodgers got traded to the browns

Jeff in MN finally comes to the conclusion that buckthorn is the next greatest thing in wildlife cover. Greens up early, stays green late, grows well in all soils. All of that plus it provides food for all wildlife with those tasty purple berries.
You can walk 2.5 miles in Bayfield County forest and actually see one fresh track.
Packers are forces to release Aaron Rodgers...oh wait....this might not be false.
RC is fully reinstated to Bowsite AND is assigned as moderator for Wisconsin forum!
"All of that plus it provides food for all wildlife with those tasty purple berries." Might be true but all the berries I have seen on buckthorn are too high for deer to reach. I wonder if I cut a berry filled buckthorn down if the deer would come running in to eat the berries. (and poop the seed out all over the area)
Now the fake news... Some really smart intern in the UW Madison horticulture program figured out a way to genetically alter buckthorn to produce sterile nutrition packed berries and at the same time stunted the growth to under 8 feet tall . This new version of BT is being sold to improve wildlife habitat. Bioligists predict that adult bucks will average 250# field dressed and 180 inch racks will be common because of the high nutritional value of these hybred berries. New PY rules will require a minimum score of 200" to be entered in the record book. All current entries in the book that are under 200" will be moved to a new category called Pre-Hybred-Buckthorn. Areas with extensive plantings of these new buckthorn will see hunting leases going for $300 per acre.
Ruger 10-22 decides only to shoot spikes and young forks....................
I told my wife how much money I lost in Vegas...:-((((To put it in perspective, I could have paid for our annual Mexico trip with what I pissed away at poker and blackjack. She'd be pissed if she knew.
