The Milwaukee Post

November 75 2017 • Milwaukee County Post • 15 MADISON (DNR) — Wisconsin's nine-day gun deer season opens Saturday and Department of Natural Resources staff say they are enthusiastic about the prospects for 2017. "We are coming out of a third straight mild winter and a good summer grow- ing season, so as expected we are seeing good to excel- lent deer numbers through- out most of the state," said DNR big game ecologist Kevin Wallenfang, who expects an increase in deer registration this fall. "The public and County Deer Advisory Councils are also recognizing the increase as is evident by increased antlerless tag availability, especially in some northern counties." In 2016, far northern por- tions of Wisconsin saw an overall gun season increase of about 30 percent, while the total deer harvest, including gun, crossbow, and archery, increased by roughly 22 percent. "In the past, the majority of the annual deer harvest came during the nine-day gun season," Wallenfang said, "but for decades there has been a growing percent- age of the total fall harvest coming during the early archery seasons." More people are turning to the early archery/cross- bow seasons during nicer weather and the peak rut. Online registration Wallenfang also noted that hunters need to become familiar with the new deer tagging require- ments, baiting restrictions, new tree stand rules and a reduction in the number of buck-only units. This year marks the third year of electronic deer registration through GameReg (http://dnr.wi. gov/topic/hunt/ereg.html). by phone, computer or smartphone. Hunters must their deer after harvest iby 5 p.m. the day following recovery. Hunters are no longer required to validate paper carcass tags or attach them to harvested deer. It is also no longer required to keep the tag with the meat. However, hunters must carry one of the forms of proof of a deer tag. Hunters may show proof of having a valid, unfilled deer tag by providing a conservation warden with their Go Wild card, their authenticated driver's license, paper copies, or an electronic copy on their cellphone. Even with electronic forms of proof of deer tags available, hunters will need the unique tag number to begin the harvest registra- tion process. Wisconsin's four Deer Management Zones and county-based Deer Management Units have not changed in 2017. DMUs fol- low county boundaries in most cases, and nine DMUs are split by zone bound- aries. DMU and land type- specific antlerless permits are intended to help man- age deer populations more closely with the hope of enhancing hunting experi- ences on public land. With each deer hunting license (archery/crossbow and gun), hunters receive one Buck Deer Tag valid statewide. In addition, each license includes one or more Farmland (Zone 2) Antlerless Deer Tag(s) that must be designated for use in a specific zone, DMU and land type (public access or private) at the time of issuance. Farmland (Zone 2) antlerless tags may not be used in the Northern Forest or Central Forest zones, but bonus antlerless tags may be available for specific DMUs within these zones. All Bonus Antlerless Deer Tags are zone, DMU and land-type specific. For more information, visit dnr.wi.gov and search keyword "deer." DNR The gun deer season starts Saturday. Archery and crossbow season have been popular this year, the DNR says.
