MADISON, WI (WPR)— Wisconsin’s nine-day gun deer season will get a late start this year.
That could mean fewer deer on the move for the hundreds of thousands of hunters set to take to the woods.
This year’s season will start on November 22 and run through November 30.
While the late start will work against hunters because of reduced deer movements, colder temperatures and the potential for snow may provide more favorable conditions for hunters.
New this year, the DNR revised boundaries for the state’s deer management units. The changes included converting those boundaries in the northern forest zone from county-based to habitat-based units.
