Brisk temperatures, beautiful Wisconsin views, face coverings not required in most situations, and built-in social distancing, it’s gun deer season in the state starting Saturday.
The annual tradition is worth millions of dollars to the Wisconsin economy and it’s important to many families and friendships.
As of Monday licenses sold for the nine-day gun deer season were approaching 344,000.
Hunters are being reminded to go for that perfect buck with people from their own household this year as a way to limit the spread of COVID-19.
The Department of Natural Resources reports the state’s deer population is doing well, although there are some areas with smaller than desirable numbers.
