Wisconsin 9-day hunt starts tomorrow

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Wisconsin’s annual nine-day gun deer season opens tomorrow. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources officials say they expect to sell about 555,000 licenses this year. The agency sold 564,440 licenses last year. License sales have been slipping about 1.5% annually since 2000. Dwindling participation has translated to fewer deer killed. Hunters took 182,783 deer during last year’s nine-day season, down about 7% from 2020.
