Unlike the late season antlerless deer hunts of recent years, this year’s hunt will not affect many of the most popular ski trails in northwest Wisconsin. Hunting this year is based on units as specified by the DNR in which a set number of antlerless tags have been allocated. Several units, including unit 13, which includes much of southern Bayfield and northern Sawyer Counties, home to the American Birkebeiner ski trail and numerous other local trail systems have no tags allocated - so there will be no hunting in these areas. Similarly affected are areas east of US Hwy 3 and north of US Hwy 70.
All other units will have an antlerless season. Skiers should wear blaze orange if they venture onto the trails in these areas through Sunday.
To view a the Deer Management Units map consult the DNR website: http://dnr.wi.gov/org/land/wildlife/regs/.
Note that Regular Units-Buck Only WILL NOT have an antlerless hunt. Other Regular Units and Herd Control Units WILL be open to hunting.
