Hunting Report
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has developed a Fields & Forest Lands Interactive Gamebird Hunting Tool (FFLIGHT) designed to help upland gamebird hunters locate cover suitable for ruffed grouse and woodcock, managed dove fields and properties stocked with game farm pheasants. (Hint: the tools can be used to plot deer hunting locations, too). Hunters can access the tool using their desktop or mobile browsers to view public lands and turn on air photos for even greater detail.
Below is a screenshot from the FFLIGHT tool for reference:
