The B&C Club also reported that the number of trophy deer taken has risen nationally by 400 percent over the last three decades. There are several reasons for this including: better management practices on private and public land; a shift in hunter attitude away from meat hunting; a better understanding of deer genetics and nutrition; and hunters being more willing to submit their trophy bucks to B&C.

Of course, there’s not a booner buck taking an afternoon nap in every alfalfa field in Wisconsin (trust me, I’m a cheesehead). Hunting is still tough on public land and in some regions of the state hunters struggle to see any deer, let alone a record book qualifier. Also, many Wisconsin hunters argue that the large wolf and bear populations are making too big of a dent in deer herds in the North.

However it’s hard to argue with the numbers. And big bucks aren’t just coming out of the legendary Buffalo County in Western Wisconsin. The new state record archery buck (pictured) was killed in 2010 outside of Appleton, in the eastern part of the state. In 2011 Jeff Webber took an enormous 15-point buck outside of Appleton that threatened the state record but didn’t pass it.

What’s your opinion? Is Wisconsin the best state for trophy whitetail hunting?

First horse racing. These animals are injected with steriods and overburdened to win races. There is money bet on their outcome. If they seriously break a leg, then they are put to sleep.

Next is dog racing…Greyhounds…Big money is wagered on their outcome. These animals are bred for racing. They are injected with dangerous steriods. If they lose their competitive edge or get injured, then they are thrown to a shitty kennel and are forgotten. Some are even put to sleep.

Finally….Deer Hunting…This sport pisses me off. How can some Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia or West Virginia red neck go and blow defenseless bambi’s brains out and get to hang the head on the wall? They seldom eat the animal. Where are the animal rights activists for this?
