Deadline for Hunters with Disabilities Program is September 1
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 08/16/2017

Eligible hunters who are interested in participating in the 2017 gun deer hunt for hunters with disabilities are encouraged to contact a land sponsor to sign up for a hunt before the September 1 hunter participation deadline.

This year, about 70 landowners have enrolled over 80,000 acres of land across 42 counties for the October 7-15 hunt.

"We are thrilled with the number of sponsors that are willing to provide opportunities for our hunters," said assistant big game ecologist Maggie Stewart. "Giving hunters access to over 80,000 acres of land is instrumental in making this unique opportunity a success and for continuing Wisconsin's deer hunting tradition."

Hunters or assistants should contact sponsors directly to sign up for a hunt. Hunters will be asked to provide their name, contact information, and DNR customer ID number. To be eligible, hunters must possess a valid Class A, Class B long-term permit that allows shooting from a vehicle or Class C or D disabled hunting permit. As in the past, eligible hunters must also possess a gun deer license.

Certain enrolled properties are able to accommodate more hunters than others, and smaller properties may only be able to allow the minimum number of three hunters. Interested hunters are advised to contact potential sponsors as early as possible to determine if space is available.
