Eligible hunters with an interest in participating in the 2021 gun deer hunt for hunters with disabilities are encouraged to contact a land sponsor and sign up for a hunt before the September 1 hunter participation deadline.
Nearly 90 sponsors have enrolled thousands of acres of land across the state for this year's hunt, which is slated to take place October 2-10.
To participate in the hunt, hunters should contact sponsors directly. Some properties can accommodate more hunters than others, so hunters are advised to contact potential sponsors as early as possible to determine if space is available.
"We are grateful to the sponsors that provide opportunities for hunters with disabilities," said Wes Ellarson, DNR Assistant Big Game Ecologist. "Giving hunters access to this land is instrumental in making the fall hunt a success and continuing Wisconsin's deer hunting tradition."
Eligible hunters may sign up for one property per year and must possess a gun deer license.
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. Eligible hunters must possess a gun deer license.
