Wisconsin Folks Interested in Hosting Deer Hunt for those with Disabilities: Please Sign Up by June 1

Please apply by June 1 to host deer hunt for those with disabilities
Sponsors and landowners interested in hosting a gun deer hunt for hunters with disabilities are encouraged to apply by June 1.

Sponsors are encouraged to submit their applications using the new online process which can be found at dnr.wi.gov, search keywords “disabled deer hunt.”
Hard copies are available at DNR service centers or by calling Scott Roepke at 608-261-7588.

This year’s gun hunt for hunters with disabilities will occur Oct. 5 to 13. Landowners and sponsors have the option to limit the hunt to certain days within that time period.

Hunters interested in participating in the hunt can find a list of sponsors on the DNR web page above after June 1. Hunters are encouraged to contact sponsors as soon as possible so that hunt planning can get underway.

Sponsors are required to submit a list of participating hunters no later than Sept. 1. The list of participating hunters can also be submitted online, similar to the sponsor application.

In 2012, 93 sponsors worked with landowners to make nearly 75,000 acres of land open to hunters with disabilities. These sponsors and landowners provided opportunities for more than 450 hunters.

Many thanks go to hunt sponsors, landowners, and volunteers for their dedication to this great event. Without you, this hunt would not be possible!
