Good morning AJ, A license includes one buck and one doe for each season. Depending on the county, an additional doe license can be purchased for $20.00. I have land in two counties and both have doe licenses available for purchase. If I shoot two deer, I give away some of the second deer. It is either that, or buy a third freezer. We're not really preppers, but I do prefer organic protein that has been processed by myself. I know that the meat is instantly cleaned and processed when I do it myself. A bit of a tradition no doubt. Jan could get a license but she is not a hunter. I've always been the country boy and originally she was a city girl - even worse, her dad was an owner of a meat market. Fortunately she is a great cook and has focused on wild game preparation (she has perfected the curing of Venison roasts in her instant pot). I love to grill and usually still prepare the venison in a gravy made from onions, mushrooms, and jalapeno peppers, with a bit of butter, tablespoon of brown sugar and a half bottle of red wine while sautéing the veggies If amongst the two seasons I kill 3 deer, then one of them goes to the meat market and they make old German style summer sausage (complete with natural casing, garlic and mustard seed). They are but one a few meat markets licensed to cold smoking (which means it never gets hotter than 160 degrees). Cold smoking requires a greater time in the smoke house. When picking it up, it loads to car with a strong smoke smell. To keep it from flavoring everything in the fridge or freezer, it must be wrapped in 5 thick pieces of newspaper, and frozen inside a heavy duty brown paper bag. When I do the sausage, they make really appreciated Christmas gifts. Wisconsin has a "doe only" hunting season during the time period between Christmas and New Years in counties considered over populated with deer. That's almost always hunting in deep snow. It's quite pretty, but needs warmer gear. That early January season is when we get our most snow. It is allocated back to bow hunters and in addition muzzle loader hunting. In all seasons, I never bait (it is illegal in the counties I hunt in). I'm a staunch supporter of fair hunt, fair kill. It requires knowledge of the deer and their habits. One must know the area and hunt it according to the wind direction. My body and hunting gear is washed in scentless soap and I have all my gear retained in an airtight bag with earth scented wafers to mask my human smell. I have 7 tree stands on my 40 acres and do literally climb up 20 feet on a ladder and strap myself in. At 69, I'm pleased to say it is exciting and a challenge to set up the stands and keep them safe. I have mentored young hunters to learn the tradition and helped many harvest their first deer. No heaters, no radios, just a lot of clothes, swinging up in a tree as the wind blows cold. It takes me a week or so to get slowed down enough to sit up there from 5:30 A.M. to 11:00 A.M.. Then back out from 3:00P.M. to 5:30 P.M. Wisconsin is blessed with a lot of woods and very clean water. My dad made sure to raise me with an appreciation of the outdoors. To master the keen senses of Whitetail deer is considered an honorable skill. I view it as a timeless tradition that should be continued with today's youth. Wisconsin is blessed with a large whitetail deer population. To many (including myself) it is viewed much like subsistence hunting is viewed in Alaska. With beef prices up this year, I expect to see a lot of hunters early this season, as well as all seasons. Bob
