Scouting MFL

[BigHills BuckHunter]

I just purchased the Southern Wisconsin all outdoors field atlas. Its really interesting because it tells you where MFL is. I had no idea I had so much MFL close to me. I found a really good looking area thats MFL Open. I will be scouting on foot in a few weeks. Topo and food sources look promising. With Open MFL This means I can hunt it even though another land owner technically owns it. If Im wrong please correct me. I was wondering how many of you hunt MFL and what the pros and cons are? Dan or SPY did you ever hunt MFL?

What does the M stand for? I am assuming the FL is Federal Land?

Make sure you know the properties are still in the program!! I was doing some scouting with B.S. about a month ago and he had this book. I had a print out from the DNR and there were atleast 2 properties that were no longer in the program.What I would do is check the DNR website and get a list of all the MFL,FCL .and the voluntary programs.Also I would bring a plat book to verify the property that's in the program. The DNR is currently updating the MFL&FCL and it won't be back up til March

MFL=Managed Forest Law

FCL= Forest Crop Law

Not sure if you can legally scout on open MFL... You may have to carry a gun and be "coyote hunting".

I have done some hunting on MFL, but not much.

You can't scout but can carry a gun and hunt? that sounds odd

On MFL You can Hike,sightsee ,Xcountry ski

FCL you HAVE to be hunting or fishing

I realize its being updated but how would I find this on the DNR site? I cant seem to find it? Could you send me a link?
