2021 Bear Hunting Application Period Delayed
Wednesday, February 12th, 2020 -- 12:35 PM
The bear application period for the 2021 bear hunting season is delayed due to legislative review.According to Wisconsin Ag Connection, the state's natural resources department says the application period which normally opens in March will open shortly after the legislative review process is complete at a date to be determined.
The 2021 bear application deadline remains in December. Applicants are reminded to be aware of the new bear management zone boundaries as their hunting grounds may change to a new unit beginning in 2021. The DNR says it is not known precisely how these changes will specifically affect harvest permit wait times, but there will likely be no significant changes across zones A, B, C and D.
If you would like to hunt black bear in Wisconsin, you must possess a Class A bear license. Applications are required for a Class A license or to receive a preference point.
