It's common to find deer near the cornfields. But I was rather surprised to see this big girl in my back yard.

we actually had one up in antigo about 6 years back, a young bull.  i would think that there would be more of them around given the vast areas of swamp in northern wi.

I saw a bull six years ago near Riley Lake east of Park Falls.
