Dropping temperatures and snow in the air mean winter has settled in, bringing exciting winter hunting and fishing opportunities to Wisconsin.

If you’re interested but not sure how to get started, consider participating in DNR Learn to Hunt and Learn to Fish programs. These programs are intended for novice audiences and are family-friendly. Parents are encouraged to participate with the kids so future outings become a family affair.

The department also tailors some programs exclusively for under-represented participants, including adult-only events.

All the programs provide a unique outdoor experience, fresh air and exercise, and the opportunity to feed your family and friends.

Hunting program registration is available online. Programs available include:

Learn to Butcher & Process Deer
Learn to Hunt Rabbits with Beagles
Learn to Hunt Squirrel
How to Cook Wild Game

Also, don’t forget about Wisconsin’s Free Fishing Weekend on Jan. 21-22.

The current Learn to Hunt and Learn to Fish program offerings, along with enrollment instructions, can be found on the DNR Events Calendar. The calendar will be updated as more programs become available.
