19 Wisconsin Counties to Allow Buck Only Hunting for 2014 Gun Deer Season
Thursday, May 29th, 2014 -- 11:31 AM
-The Natural Resources Board approved the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources' recommendations for the 2014 deer hunting season.With board approval, antlerless quotas, antlerless permit levels and an updated CWD affected area have been established for 2014.
"With the severity of this past winter, recommending a buck only hunting season for much of Northern Wisconsin is a first step in allowing the deer population to recover," said DNR Secretary Cathy Stepp. "We have received a great deal of public input on these recommendations and have received great support."
In 2014, 19 counties and four tribal reservation deer management units will allow buck only hunting with an antlerless quota of zero for most hunters. New deer management units will follow county lines and reservation boundaries.
It is important to note that youth hunters, disabled hunters and qualified military personnel will be allowed to harvest a limited number of antlerless deer in buck only units. All proposed buck only counties fall within the northern and central forest deer management zones.
