Get ready for Wisconsin’s nine-day gun deer season (UNDATED)
Wisconsin’s nine-day gun deer season is right around the corner, and there’s a few things to know if you’re heading out this year. Department of Natural Resourced Deer Program Specialist Jeff Pritzl says a mild winter last year bodes well for deer activity this year. Pritzl says the season is the latest it could be under state law, so deer movement during daylight hours is reducing as we get further away from early November. The nine-day gun deer season runs from Saturday, November 23rd to Sunday, December 1st.
