Without snow cover, much of this fall's deer sign is still very visible. Now is a good time to revisit your favorite hunting area and scout around. A number of hunters reported as many as 22 different flushes. The hot areas are along stream banks with some type of conifer cover. Hunters report a fair number of snowshoe and cottontail rabbits in the swamps adjacent to young aspen stands.
Deer are still somewhat spooky after the gun deer season.
Muzzleloader hunters and bow hunters have been able to fill a few antlerless tags. Not much for bucks being observed by hunters. More winter-like weather would help the deer hunting, especially a small amount of snow. A fair number of geese are in the Marinette County area. The mild weather and open water have kept them in the area.
