Wisconsin Deer Season 2016, Opening Weekend Checklist

Wisconsin Deer Season 2016, Opening Weekend Checklist

Wisconsin Deer Hunting Season is upon us, time to start packing your vehicle.

Check your list and then check it again, it is never good to interrupt your time in the woods with a long trip into town to get some essential that you forgot.

Below we have assembled a preliminary list that will get you started, I am sure that you will add to it and possibly delete a few items from it, but the key is to have a good list and start NOW, and then you can rest assured of a great week in the Northwoods with all the stuff that you will need.

In the event that you don't have a great place to hunt yet, we do have two more places left for leasing this fall, 30 acres in Sawyer County and 40 acres with a camp in Chippewa County.
