Introduction
Wisconsin is known for its excellent deer hunting, with thousands of hunters flocking to the state every year in search of trophy bucks. However, before you head out into the woods, it’s important to know when deer hunting season begins and ends.
When is Deer Hunting Season?
Deer hunting season in Wisconsin typically runs from early November through late December. The exact dates vary depending on which type of hunt you’re participating in – archery, firearm or muzzleloader – as well as where you plan on hunting.
Important Dates to Remember
If you’re planning on taking part in this year’s deer hunting season in Wisconsin, make sure you mark these key dates on your calendar:
– September 18: Deadline to apply for a gun or muzzleloader permit
– October 31: Opening day for archery season
– November 20: Opening day for gun/muzzleloader season
It’s also important to note that there are specific rules and regulations governing each type of hunt (e.g., bag limits, shooting hours), so be sure to familiarize yourself with them ahead of time.
Tips for a Successful Hunt
Whether this is your first time or tenth time going deer hunting in Wisconsin, there are several things you can do to increase your chances of success:
1. Scout out potential areas beforehand so that you have a good idea of where the deer are likely to be.
2. Bring plenty of warm clothing and gear (especially if it’s later into the winter months) as temperatures can drop quickly during dawn/dusk hours.
3. Be patient! Sitting still and waiting quietly is often one key factor between getting skunked versus taking home some meat!
By following these tips along with knowing when exactly opening days begin/end should give hunters ample opportunities at making memories out in the woods of Wisconsin. Remember to always be safe and enjoy the hunt!
