WI: Muzzleloader season underway after regular deer season


December antlerless season also ahead
MADISON – The close of the nine-day gun deer hunt also signals the opening of the 10-day, muzzleloader deer hunt that runs from Nov. 28 through Dec. 7. The muzzleloader hunt is statewide with the exception of most state parks. There is also an ongoing deer hunting season through Dec. 7 in designated metropolitan, or metro, units due to higher deer populations near some urban areas. Check the current deer hunting regulations for details.
Following the muzzleloader hunt is a four-day antlerless deer hunt running Dec. 8 through 11 statewide except in state parks and in Menominee County.
All hunters are reminded that blaze orange clothing requirements are in place whenever any gun deer season is open.
