MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Deer hunters got the snow they wanted in southern Wisconsin on opening day of the state’s nine-day gun season. The National Weather Service reports 10 to 20 inches of snow had fallen in Janesville as of Saturday’s opener. Snow typically makes deer stand out and makes them easier to track. The Wisconsin Department of Natura l Resources says the number of licenses sold for the gun season is up compared to last season at this time. As of Saturday morning, 591,783 gun licenses had been sold. That’s nearly 2,000 more than the 589,830 gun licenses sold by opening day last season. Preliminary figures show hunters had registered a total of 3,830 deer by late Saturday afternoon — 2,449 bucks and 1,381 antlerless deer. For the first time, all Wisconsin hunters can register their deer on the Internet.
