State sets record for three fatality-free firearms deer seasons

Wisconsin’s 576,000 gun-deer hunters participated in one of the safest seasons on record, with just three minor hunting-related injuries reported statewide. This was the third season in a row with no fatalities, a record in the state’s long deer hunting legacy. Hunters bagged 211,430 deer during the nine-day season, up 7 percent from last season, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources reported.
Be mindful of CWD this season
You can do your part to stop the spread of Chronic Wasting Disease this season by having your deer tested, particularly if it has shown signs of the disease.
