Preliminary numbers from the state Department of Natural Resources aren’t available yet for the ongoing archery deer season, but three local businesses are shedding a little light on how hunters are faring so far in the woods and fields.

The Wisconsin 2025 gun deer season opens Nov. 22 and runs through Nov. 30.

Similar to last year, this year’s gun deer season runs later in the month. Fewer deer may be on the move relative to years with earlier openers. Other factors such as colder temperatures and snow cover could create better deer hunting conditions

Across the state, avid hunters are heading out or getting ready for deer hunting season. While you’re checking off your prep list, make sure a physical examination is part of it.
