What Type of Insect is this??

Fort Atkinson, WI

While I was camping up in northern wisconsin (mellen, wi) I was at a state park and saw this HUGE bug sitting on a wood fence post. It had antennae that were HUGE. Almost looked like some type of Grasshopper or some hybrid species. It looked like a science experment gone wrong. I have yet to identify it, and it's perplexing me. Does anyone know what this bug is? It was pretty big. I'd say mabey 3-4 inches long?

I've attached pictures in hopes that it may help! Thanks!
