Take your family and friends hunting

It's easier than ever to introduce family and friends to Wisconsin's great hunting traditions. Anyone 10 or over can hunt without first passing hunter safety classes if they hunt with a veteran hunter and stay within an arm’s reach.

Big price discounts – new this season -- make joining deer camp an even greater bargain for first-time hunters and those hunters buying a license for the first time in 10 or more years.
