Gun season for deer hunting in Wisconsin kicks off Saturday, November 19.
From a new tagging system to the approval of florescent pink gear, this year's deer hunting season comes with a number of changes.
NBC26 is keeping you informed so you know what to expect this season.
What's New in 2016
-
The new Go Wild license system is in place this year. The DNR says the
Go Wild
system offers hunters greater flexibility to purchase and display licenses, but there are a few changes to keep in mind.
- Carcass tags will be printed on regular white paper.
- Carcass tags are now validated immediately after the kill by writing on them.
- The carcass tag no longer needs to be attached immediately after the kill, but if you leave the carcass unattended you must tag it.
- While afield, it is illegal to carry more than one copy of a carcass tag.
- Back tags are no longer required. The DNR will not be issuing back tags this year.
- Youth hunters must specify land type. For the Junior Anterless Deer Tag, youth hunters will need to indicate whether they are on public-access or private land. For more information on the Youth Gun Deer Hunt click here .
- Blaze / fluorescent pink clothing may be worn in place of blaze / fluorescent orange. At least 50% of outer clothing above the waist must be colored blaze orange or fluorescent pink.
- For counties offering multiple tags, a different land type can be used for each tag. All tags must still be within the same DMU. For more information about tagging, click here .
- Baiting and feeding deer is closed in some counties. These counties include Forest, Oneida and Vilas.
