Wisconsin archery season.

Unread postby Jackson Marsh » Mon Dec 31, 2018 2:07 pm

How do you interpret this? I read it as the counties NOT in the holiday hunt close Jan. 1.

I read this as the state wide season is open through Jan. 6th if not in a metro zone.

The WI DNR must be using the same author (lawyer) to write up regulations that the MDC uses in Missouri. :roll:

They wrote this section so people not in the Holiday Hunt zones knew they could still hunt bucks during that period.

The Hunt Wild app was poorly written. I noticed that a few months ago but forgot to mention it. It confused me as well but the regulation book is much clearer.

When I originally read my regs, I interpreted it, that I could hunt until Jan 6th. Seeing I wasn't included in the holiday hunt.

And that is my plan!

The holiday hunt closes Jan 1 from my understanding. Regular archery season closes Jan. 6, and some counties are open thru Jan 31.

Yes, wi is poorly run.

That makes sense, but I still found it confusing. Plan to get out a few times after the 1st. Temps are supposed to drop, maybe I'll get lucky.
