Hunting Archery Duck Deer

Deadline Set for Turkey, Geese Hunter Choice Permits - Sportsmen and women looking forward to fall hunting seasons in Wisconsin now have one consolidated permit application deadline that applies to a number of popular hunting activities. The deadline to apply for Hunter’s Choice white-tailed deer hunting permits, fall turkey hunting permits, Horicon and Collins zone Canada goose hunting permits, sharp-tailed grouse hunting permits, and otter, fisher and bobcat hunting or trapping permits have all been consolidated to August 1 each year. Previously there were a number of different deadlines to apply to the Department of Natural Resources for these fall hunting permits.
“We are trying to simplify things for our customers by consolidating all of these fall season application deadlines into one day,” says Diane Brookbank, director of the DNR Bureau of Customers Service and Licensing. “We are also working on establishing one date for applications for the spring turkey and bear hunting permits.”

Hunter’s Choice available in 53 DMUs and nine state park units. The permit does not represent an extra tag, but rather allows the holder of an unused regular Gun Deer Carcass Tag the opportunity to harvest one deer of any sex during the gun or muzzleloader deer seasons.
