Wisconsin Hunting

Wisconsin has been known to have some great Whitetail Deer Hunting for some trophy bucks. Buffalo County is home to some monster Whitetail Deer. The state also has a thriving Black Bear population. Hunters have been harvesting between 2,500 - 3,000 bears a year latley. There are also good numbers of Whitetails and Turkey. There are several Outfitters that can help you plan your hunt.

Most folks know Wisconsin for cheese and the Green Bay packers. Deer Hunting is also a great sporting activity in this state. Wisconsin’s Department of Natural Resource estimates that hunters, photographers, etc., pump over a billion dollars a year into the economy of their state, and supports thousands of full time and part time jobs.

Wisconsin is also known for harsh winters, and this can wreak havoc on a deer population. However WDNR has done a great job of managing the population with post hunting season goals since 1962, and post hunting season deer populations are estimated over a million currently. Deer populations are heaviest in the east-central section of the state and moving south.
