FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q:  Can we shoot does?

A:  Yes, absolutely, please do.  When you get your license, also get a bonus permit for management unit 51A.  You can then shoot a buck and a doe. 

Q:  What if I accidentally shoot a button buck?

 A:  In archery hunting, there is no reason to mistake a button buck for a doe.  All stands are designed for close range shooting.  However, if you do make a mistake, we are not imposing any fines at this time.  That may change in the future. 

Q:  Is there a minimum rack size on bucks? 

A:  Our goal is to let the 90-125 class bucks mature and breed.  You should be looking for 130 class and up.  If you want to shoot something smaller, please help us cull some of the bent, crooked, warped and gnarly racks from the herd.  Again, at this time, we are not imposing any fines for falling below these guidelines. We are mainly going by what your personal trophy is. But we are hoping that by you seeing the quality of deer that we have you will let those younger deer walk.

Q:  When do we arrive and depart? 

A:  Our normal hunt is Thursday thru Sunday.  Arriving in time on Thursday to get organized for an evening hunt.  Then leaving on Sunday after the evening hunt. 

Q:  What type of terrain will I be hunting? 

A:  For the most part, our property is heavily wooded and swampy.  It is set in the middle of hundreds of acres of active, fertile farm fields.  Within our heavily wooded swamp land are ridges (eskers), ideal for stand placement.  In addition, we have placed several food plots within the property boundaries.  These interior food plots give the deer a feeling of safety while feeding at all hours of the day. 

Q:  How many hunters are in camp at one time? 

A:  We can easily accommodate 10-12 hunters, but only plan on having 3-6 per session. 

Q:  What are our stands like? 

A:  We have a variety of clamp on and ladder stands.  All are 15-20 feet high.  They are quality stands that support up to 300+ lbs.  If you cannot climb, let us know ahead of time because we have ground blinds available. 

Q:    Do you recommend that your hunters go scent free?

A:     Yes, we highly recommend that you go as scent free as you possibly can. All of our guides use Scent Lok suites and liberally spray down with Scent Killer, we also use rubber boots.

Q:  Do we hunt all day or come in for lunch? 

A:  This is your hunt - you make the call.  We will be happy to accommodate you either way.  If you wish to stay out all day we will provide you with a bag lunch and arrange a way to communicate in case you kill something or want to come in. 

Q:  Can we still hunt/stalk?

A:  No still hunting or walking around is allowed.  Only tree stand or ground blind hunting.  The cover is too dense for still hunting to be effective and our property lines are not clearly delineated. 

Q:  What is our success rate? 

A:  Don’t have one yet.  This will be our first year of bringing outside hunters in.  However, understand that all of the deer you see pictured on this site were shot in 2 (two) seasons.  That was accomplished by less than 5 hunters.  If you look in the Who Are We section on the Home page, you can meet us.  In two years        Doug has made it out bow hunting twice and rifle hunting three times.  Ken and Wayne get out when they can, which is not as often as they would like.  Ray and Tony, however, get out often enough to know if a leaf is out of place. 

Q:  How do we get to your camp? 

A:  Shortly after your hunt is booked, we will mail or email a map to you.  We will also need you to sign a release form and find out if you want tree stands or ground blinds.  At that time, please inform us as to any special dietary needs. 

Q:  Airports? 

A:  The nearest major airport is in Green Bay.  Austin Straubel Field.  There is a nice, smaller (Cessna's and the like) airport with paved runways within 6 miles of the camp.
