Readers loved our map last week showing where Wisconsin hunters registered more deer in this year's nine-day gun season. This week, we present new maps looking at the deer that most hunters covet — bucks.

Two notes to keep in mind: 1) These maps are based on preliminary figures from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. 2) The data probably will not lead you to that elusive 30-point buck.

(And if you want to see some of the biggest bucks harvested this season in Wisconsin, check out our reader gallery below).
