Warning Note on Eve of Deer Hunt in Wisconsin
Wisconsin conservation officials warned rifle hunters during a five day deer season across 34 counties with shotgun hunting allowed in seven counties. The shorter season raises expected hunting density and hazards though a longer season was rejected. A 50 percent red apparel rule and other regulations govern start times, antler requirements, and tagging. Preseason kill estimates vary with last year’s totals near 124 thousand hunters and 28 thousand deer, while historic highs before the war influenced expectations. A J Robinson notes fire lanes will be opened selectively and only where granted.
