12-5-17 deer hunt-additional opportunities

todayDecember 5, 2017

The nine day gun deer hunt may be over but there are still additional opportunities for deer  hunters .   DNR big game ecologist Kevin Wallenfang says the muzzleloader season runs through Wednesday, a  four day antlerless hunt starts Thursday, and  the archery and crossbow seasons will remain open through January 7.  The overall deer harvest during the gun season was down, but Wallenfang says those numbers can be misleading.  “What you need to do is take into consideration the entire deer harvest over the years and its changed in that a higher percentage of the deer are getting killed in other seasons,”  Wallenfang told WFDL news.
