I was in Wisconsin this past weekend, had 3 machines with me and didn't hunt once... The more I look into WI laws, the more I'm confused... Well, maybe not really but I'm not real clear on them... I spent most of my time in Chippewa Falls and Jim Falls...(I wasn't shut down because confusion ovr laws... I knew there was a good chance I wouldn't be hunting at all)

WIT, what "laws" are you talking about that gave you cause for concern? Are you confusing state level (ie.: "WI rules") with other levels? In other words, whatever you read about the state-of-WI, is not necessarily the same at city, county, and private levels. Thus as long as there's nothing saying "no metal detectors", then presto: there you go.
Not really to confusing really. I hunt Chippewa quite often.
State run parks are pretty much off limits. Any of the county or city parks are good to go.
