Deer hunters can take advantage of an October three-day firearm antlerless deer season on private land again this year, according to Paul Johansen, assistant chief in Charge of Game Management for the Division of Natural Resources (DNR).
In counties or parts thereof having a firearms antlerless deer season, the season on private land opens Thursday, October 23 and remain open through Saturday, October 25.
"There are several advantages to hunters and to deer management if hunters participate in this season," Johansen said.
"Many hunters may find the weather better for stand hunting since temperatures should be warmer than during late November and December. Hunters who hunt in one of the 31 counties where they are required to harvest an antlerless deer prior to taking a second antlered buck can harvest an antlerless deer now."
"The early opening date for antlerless deer hunting with a firearm is a good opportunity for hunters and landowners to accomplish their antlerless deer harvest objectives and put some meat in the freezer," Johansen said. |
