MADISON, Wis.* – The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is accepting applications for a special trapping season within Sandhill State Wildlife Area [ [link removed] ]. The deadline to apply for the 2025-2026 trapping season is Monday, Sept. 15, 2025.

This unique opportunity will provide selected trappers a high-quality trapping experience while helping the DNR achieve its furbearer management goals on the 9,150-acre property.

Successful trappers will be required to attend a two-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 during the 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. Conditions are ideal for furbearers, making this a desirable trapping location.

More information, including the application, is available on the DNR’s Sandhill Outdoor Skills Center webpage [ [link removed] ].
