We are now less than 24 hours away from the start of one of the biggest traditions in the state of Wisconsin, the 9-day gun deer season. While this is always a nice way to not only get out and enjoy nature, it also has the potential to be a dangerous time.
DNR Secretary Preston D. Cole says that “As hunters new and old make their way into the woods this season, it is important they follow all of the Wisconsin Department of Health Services COVID-19 safety precautions including wearing a mask, keeping six feet of distance from others and avoiding crowds.”
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) discourages social gatherings of any size, including getting together with friends or extended family during hunting season at deer camp.
The less time spent with people from other households, the less likely you are to get sick or spread COVID-19 to others.
More information can be found on the DHS website.
