FNG in Wisconsin

[saile14]

Buying land in NW Wisconsin. Making the transition from a decade of upland birds and ag land stand sits in SE Wisconsin to baiting bears and ground/blind hunts in a tamarack swamp. Learned as a kid but haven't used these skills in years, so lurking has provided a great refresher course on tons of stuff.

As I adjust to my new surroundings, I am quickly finding some of my gear needs upgrading and/or replacing. So that has given me the push to make an account in the hopes of find some great deals.

As the self-appointed chairman of the welcoming committee, it is my privilege to extend a laurel, and hearty handshake (virtual, of course) to our new member.

Welcome from Chicago! NW WI is a great place to chase grouse as well.

Welcome to the northwoods

I'm new here and also from WI. I am closer to the Green Bay area. However, I've traveled and hunted all across the state. Let me know if I can be of any help.

Yup, spent lot of time in Sawyer country chasing grouse and on occasion a white tail. We always stay at Wolfes Eagle lodge in Loretta. I always try to take a little time for some Crappie and Musky fishing, never caught a legal one.

Oh, the elusive Musky! I’ve yet to catch one. It’s my favorite fish to hunt for.

Use to be called the fish of 10,000 cast, I recently heard that is down to 5,000. Still a lot of cast, waiting for a legal one.

If it were 5,000 I’d have one by now

My brother Tom was a diehard, hardcore musky fisherman and he caught very few legals. He had more musky gear than god.

Welcome from another new guy who also happens to be from WI. Hunted a lot of tamarack swamps in central WI for turkey and deer with a bow. Never thought I'd say I miss Wisconsin while living there, but I really do.
