Deer hunting information for the upcoming season

Wisconsin gun hunt 2013

Ready to take your GMC Sierra out for the gun hunt this season? Palmen Buick GMC Cadillac has all your 2013 Wisconsin gun hunting information right here in one convenient place. We’ve noticed that the details for these events tend to get scattered throughout a series of pages and downloadable files, and we wanted to give you a one-glance view of the important details for this year’s hunt.

What: Wisconsin gun hunting for white-tailed deer

When: The dates for 2013 are Saturday, November 23 –  Sunday, December 1. The exact times vary greatly from area to area, and you can find a complete table on the DNR website, but you should plan to be allowed to hunt from 30 minutes before sunrise to 20 minutes after sunset in your location.

You Need: If you were born on or after Jan. 1, 1973, you’ll need to have taken the Wisconsin Hunter Education course or an equivalent and have your certificate or other proof on hand when you purchase your hunting license, which you’ll also need in order to hunt.

Licenses can be purchased at a number of locations, including Dick’s Sporting Goods on 76th Street, Gander Mountain on 118th Ave., Harborside Bait and Tackle, and several others.

Depending on where you’re hunting, you’ll need to get the correct CWD carcass tags. They can also be purchased at the locations in Kenosha that are listed above. You may use 2012 CWD Unit Buck Authorization stickers from last  year’s antlerless deer hunt if you did not use them during last year’s harvest. They are not transferable to another person, though, and are only good through the 2013 season. Likewise, any Buck Authorization sticker that you earn this year through the harvest of an antlerless deer may be used for next year’s hunt if you wish to retain it until then. Please be aware that they’re not replaceable, though, so keep it in a safe place you won’t forget about!

We recommend visiting the DNR website for all the important rules and regulations, but hopefully this overview will help! Happy hunting!
