Fall Antlerless Hunt Returns

More hunting is always good

The return of the fall antlerless deer hunt was welcomed with little fanfare Thursday. The early hunt was reinstated this season after a two-year hiatus, and this time it’s here to stay.

“We’re hoping for a good turnout, but based on the first day — it was pretty quiet out there this morning,” said Greg Kessler, wildlife biologist for the Wisconsin DNR.

The fall antlerless season was originally suspended after a number of hunters complained. They assured wildlife officials they could harvest enough deer to keep the population in check without the October hunt. During the two-year span, however, hunters failed to reach the required 2:1 ratio of antlerless to antlered deer harvested, and the fall hunt was reintroduced.

3. I got two on Saturday.  It took less than two minutes after reaching the top of my deer stand.  Who says this hunting is tuff?!
