MADISON, WI (KDAL) – The nine day gun deer hunting season begins in Wisconsin on Saturday.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is urging hunters to keep COVID-19 safety measures in mind and to remember that all harvested deer must be registered electronically by 5 p.m. the day after the deer is recovered.
Hunters have three options to register their deer. The fastest and easiest option is online at GameReg.WI.gov. Phone registration can be done at 1-844-426-3734 or at an in-person electronic registration station.
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) discourages social gatherings of any size, including getting together with friends or extended family during hunting season at deer camps. The less time spent with people from other households, the less likely you are to get sick or spread COVID-19 to others. Try to lodge in your own room, tent or trailer and limit the number of households using shared spaces.
While deer camp will look different this year, there are still ways to enjoy the social aspects of deer hunting and mentoring through video chats, text messages and other creative ideas that will keep you and others safe.
