Canyon Park Cabin

Canyon Park might be considered “trophy ground” for hunting whitetail deer. It’s ideal for the whitetail, cool clear water running through the canyon with it’s ample cover. On top, farmers fields and neighbors yards to feed on. It’s about perfect for whitetails.

Over the years we have begun to understand a little about the deer herd, mostly by observation. We have had encounters many times with many different deer. There are that many! We are in the CWD zone (none from Canyon Park have tested positive) and happen to think that there are just to many deer for the overall environmental health of Canyon Park. But that’s a different post.

We totally support the idea of the Traditional Deer Season in Wisconsin. We also support the “earn-a-buck” (or at least, work for two deer) idea and utilize it with hunting here. Herd reduction is a primary objective. 

The hunting experiences have been great. I don’t really hunt much but the first time I ever went I was face to face with a perfect ten pointer. He definately knew more about what was going on than I did. Last year two buck were mounted from the property; a 14 point and a ten pointer, just because it was that nice. A couple of years ago, Mitch on his first hunt, shot a seven year old doe (good genetics and ample cover). And other stories, too.

We’ve also come face to face. I’ll never forget this one; my son-in-law Jude’s first visit from New Orleans. We go for a hike around the loop and stop at Four Oaks Point (right next to my hunting spot), there were maybe six people on top of the rock. Kodi, the dog, took off down the trail. Next thing I know I hear something coming up the other side and a really nice ten pointer busts through the saplings and is standing on the rock with us!

And Jude says, “That’s pretty cool”.    

Thanksgiving is booked but the weekends on either side of the holiday are available. If your interested in a comfortable, exciting and challenging hunt let us know.
