WHAT IS WONEWOC HUNT CLUB?

 

 

FIRST LET ME TELL YOU WHAT
WONEWOC HUNT CLUB IS NOT!
 
IT IS NOT A BUSINESS!
IT IS NOT A FOR PROFIT ORGANIZATION!
IT IS NOT A MEMBERSHIP CLUB!
IT IS NOT A HIGH FENCE!
IT IS NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!
 
I OWN A COMPANY THAT DESIGNS WEB
SITES.  WE CREATED ONE FOR THE
CLUB SO EACH US COULD HAVE ACCESS
 TO INFORMATION.  AND, SO WE COULD
 SHARE OUR  OUTDOOR EXPERIENCES
 WITH OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
 
Wonewoc Hunt Club is private property
developed for recreational purposes for a small
group of people who appreciate the value of
having a private piece of property available for
outdoor activities.
 
I have been hunting since I was a small boy, with
 my  father, grandfather and uncles.  As time
passed, finding nice places to be able to hunt in
Wisconsin, began to erode, leaving us mostly
with access to public hunting grounds.   Around 1998
I became frustrated with these two
options, and decided to find private property for
me, my family and friends to hunt.

  

I have always had an interest in Western
 
Wisconsin as the rolling hills seemed to offer
 
more challenges as well as additional land.  By
 
additional land, what I actually mean is,
 
in Western Wisconsin a topo map may show a
 
100 acre property, but if you could flatten out
 
that property it would be more like 150 or 200
 
acres. At least that is how I see it. 
 
 
I met a family in that area willing provide long
 
term leases and/or sell some of their property. 
 
Meeting this family has been one of the best
 
parts of this experience, as we have
 
develope a great friendship with each other.  
 
 
The main piece of property that
 
we utilize is about 312 acres, however as I said
 
above, if you take the topography into
 
consideration it is probably more like 500
 
arcres.
 
 
THE RULE IS..........YOU CAN SHOOT A
 
 BUCK OF ANY SIZE,BUT IF THE RACK IS
 
 NOT BEYOND THE WIDTH OF THE EARS,
 
 
YOU HAVE TO  CONTRIBUTE $500.00 TO
 
 THE CLUB. THIS INCLUDES A BUTTON
 
 BUCK. THE EXCEPTION TO THIS IS
 
IF YOU FIND YOURSELF IN A POSITION
 
 
OF HAVING TO TAKE A WOUNDED DEER
 
 THAT SOMEONE ELSE SHOT.  
 
 
I have several food plots on the property, 2
 
 small ponds and one large pond stocked
 
 with Bass and Crappie. 
 
 
We have 3-D archery targets, a 50, 100,
 
 150 yard riffle range and trap shooting to
 
 sharpen your skills.
 
 
There are about 11 miles of trails cut into
 
 the property to allow easy access to the
 
entire property, as well as offer great
 
 hiking, biking, or ATV access.
 
 
I enjoy all types of hunting, but in the last
 
 11 years my real interest has become bow
 
 hunting for deer. At first I did not pay
 
 much attention to managing the deer herd
 
 for trophies, as I was just happy to have a
 
 private piece of property I could call mine.
 
 However it did not take me long to realize
 
 the potential this property had.  For the
 
 last 10 years we have practiced a type of
 
quality deer management with the hope
 
 of developing a trophy buck area.  By
 
harvesting bucks with antlers the width of
 
 their ears and greater, while at the same
 
 time taking nice adult doe off the
 
property.
