Deer Harvest Up Over Last Year

Nearly 135,000 deer were harvested over opening weekend, which is up 24% over 2011, according to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.

Check out this article on the WDNR website with information about this years hunt and a breakdown by County of this years hunt.

MADISON – Though hunters define success in different ways, 134,772 deer were successfully harvested and registered in Wisconsin during the opening weekend of the nine-day deer season. The tally is based on preliminary call-in numbers collected from registration stations by Department of Natural Resources staff.

“Congratulations to all hunters who were able to harvest a deer opening weekend of the nine-day. Though getting a deer is often the ultimate goal of the hunt, it is the whole experience of getting out there with friends and family that keeps us coming back each year,” said DNR Sec. Cathy Stepp. “I hope those that weren’t able to get a deer during the season opener will get back out there and enjoy the rest of the days of the season.”
