(WISCONSIN) The state’s Department of Natural Resources reminds hunters that the archery and crossbow deer hunting seasons open Saturday, September 13th. The two seasons run through January 4th, except in the counties and metro subunits that have extended seasons open until January 31st.
The early archery and crossbow seasons are great opportunities for hunters to harvest antlerless deer before they change their patterns and experience additional hunting pressure during the gun deer season.
Bonus antlerless harvest authorizations remain available in many counties. As a reminder, all harvested deer must be registered by 5 pm the day after recovery using the Game Reg online site, by phone or at a participating registration station.
