This resource lets hunters plan their next adventure from the comfort of home.
As Wisconsin?s most popular hunting seasons ramp up, it?s important for all hunters to do their part to keep Wisconsin a safe place to hunt by following these firearm safety rules:
* T - Treat every firearm as if it is loaded
* A - Always point the muzzle in a safe direction
* B - Be certain of your target, what?s before it and what?s beyond it
* K - Keep your finger outside your trigger guard until you are safe to shoot
Anyone born on or after Jan. 1, 1973, must have a hunter education certification to purchase a hunting license unless hunting under the?Mentored Hunting Law [ [link removed] ]. Learn more about safe hunting in Wisconsin and register to take a hunter education course?on the DNR website [ [link removed] ]. The DNR wishes our hunters a safe and successful hunting season.
