DNR: Gun Deer Season is just around the corner
Preparation is the best way for hunters to get the most out of the upcoming gun deer season. Before Nov. 20, there are a few things you need to have before taking to the field.
To get started, purchase your deer hunting license. Hunters can buy a deer hunting license through the DNR’s GoWild app. Before buying a license, hunters must complete a hunter education course and have a hunter education safety certificate on file.
Remember to review the 2021 Wisconsin Hunting Regulations to make sure you’re aware of the latest updates. Hunters can also check out the DNR’s hunting FAQ page for a reference.
Here are other ways for hunters to prepare for the hunt:
- Check out the Wild Wisconsin web series for videos, podcasts, and more for Wisconsin hunters.
- Download the DNR’s free Hunt Wild Wisconsin mobile app to keep public land access, season dates, shooting hours, CWD testing locations, and more all in your pocket.
- Use our Public Access Lands Maps to explore public hunting options across the state.
- Carry this Field Dressing Deer: Pocket Guide for pointers while you’re in the field.
