MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin’s gun deer season begins Saturday, but slow license sales and buck-only restrictions could translate to another down year. According to Department of Natural Resources data, 609,779 hunters bought licenses for the 2014 hunt, the fewest hunters since 1976. They killed 222,588 deer, the fewest kills since 1983. As of Tuesday, hunters had purchased 392,138 licenses, about 2,000 more than at the same point last year. But the agency will still have to sell more 217,600 licenses to reach last year’s sales total. What’s more, the DNR has prohibited hunters from killing antlerless deer in 12 counties. A DNR spokesman says the agency still expects what he calls a “pretty good” season. He says deer are abundant outside of northern Wisconsin.
