About Rudy’s Hunting

Who I am

I’m Rudy. I hunt and fish in southwest Wisconsin, and I’ve been doing it for more than 35 years. This site is where I share hunting how-tos, gear notes, season planning, and recipes for cooking what you bring home.

What this site is

Rudy’s Hunting is a straightforward outdoors site. The goal is useful, practical writing you can take afield: kit that earns a spot in the pack, how-tos that hold up, and season reminders that point you back to the official regulations.

The guides here are general information to help you think through a hunt. They are not a substitute for the current rules, and they are not legal advice.

What you’ll find here

• Hunting How-Tos: scouting, stand placement, wind and weather, and field care after the shot.
• Gear: pack, optics, knives, layers, and trail cameras.
• Seasons: how to read the regulations, a pre-season checklist, and in-season decisions.
• Recipes: venison and other game, from the field to the table.

Regulations and safety

Seasons, bag limits, licenses, and legal methods change from year to year and differ by zone. Always check the current rules from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources before you go. See the Terms of Use & Disclaimer for more.
