My youngest daughters boyfriend's family owns just southwest of Wilton, great area, but the old man is a stubborn codger and doesn't see any benefit in habitat improvements. That may be why they do not have any REALLY nice bucks on the wall compared to others I have seen from the same area?

The hills in Monroe Co have some really good hunting. We've seen some giant bucks while shining in that neck of the woods. A buddy of mine shot a 183" near Wilton this past fall. Lot of good deer in that area. Clifton/Oakdale area as well. Yep, those are some of the areas I'd be looking. I really like that Wilton area. Cashton too.

Although there's plenty of Amish around too.

I'm not sure what they're doing for habitat improvement type stuff, if any, but they've got a couple hundred acres so that helps.

Most of western/southwestern WI would as well. Heck, get W/SW/NW of me and the Amish are quite thick. Where I'm at there's none...but the goddamn hillbillies are just as bad

Both deer look about 3.5 to me. How old do you think they are?
Vernon is beautiful. We're looking at buying a piece in that county right now.

That is pretty much what I think as well.
