*MADISON, Wis.* – The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is now accepting applications for a special trapping season within Sandhill Wildlife Area [ [link removed] ]. The deadline to apply for the 2024-2025 trapping season is Monday, Sept. 9, 2024.
This unique opportunity will provide selected trappers a high-quality trapping experience while simultaneously helping the DNR achieve its furbearer management goals on the 9,150-acre property.
Successful trappers will be required to attend a 2-hour workshop at Sandhill State Wildlife Area to review information about season objectives, vehicle use regulations and data collection instructions. Trapping permits will be issued as part of the mandatory workshop.
Sandhill State Wildlife Area lies within the bed of ancient Glacial Lake Wisconsin – an expansive region of flat, marshy land interspersed with forests covering parts of seven counties in central Wisconsin. The property features low, sandy uplands of oak, aspen and jack pine forests, large marshes and many flowages.
A small herd of American bison, white-tailed deer, ruffed grouse, Canada geese, ducks, loons, bald eagles, sandhill cranes, shorebirds, songbirds, hawks, owls and furbearers make Sandhill home.
More information, including the application, is available on the DNR’s Sandhill Outdoor Skills Center webpage [ [link removed] ].
