Deer Season in Wisconsin

by Jennifer Hoffman

If you were out traveling anywhere in Wisconsin this weekend you probably noticed a whole lot of dead and gutted deer being hauled home by successful hunters. This year’s gun deer hunting season has begun, and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel had some really interesting statistics about this year’s hunt.

According to the hunting licenses that were applied for this year, female hunters represented 7.9% of the total number of deer hunters and 13.26% of hunters ages 12 to 25. 20.6% of 12-year-old hunters were girls.

Dane County sold the most deer licenses. (I thought all you Dane County/Madison types hated guns…).

3,100 hunters were over the age of 80.

One thing is certain: this State loves its deer season. 629,752 licenses had been purchased by late Friday.

About Milwaukee, WI

Forget what you learned from those Laverne & Shirley reruns. Long gone is the factory town that unleashed Harley Davidson and Pabst Blue Ribbon upon the world. In its place, you'll find one of the most exciting metropolises between the coasts. The motorcycles and beer are still around, but Milwaukee also has a cutting edge art scene, festivals for every occasion, a palette of architectural curiosities, a thriving night life, and some of the most driven and diverse people in the midwest. In Milwaukee, boredom isn't even an option.
