Sponsors and landowners interested in hosting a gun hunt for deer hunters with disabilities in Wisconsin are reminded that the deadline to submit an application is June 1.Both landowners and those hunters with a Disability Hunting Permit can enroll in the Gun Deer Hunt for Hunters with Disabilities Program, which helps provide opportunities for everyone to enjoy hunting in Wisconsin. The 2019 deer hunt for hunters with disabilities will take place October 5-13. Sponsoring landowners should own at least 60 acres of land and must allow opportunity for at least three disabled hunters to use their land during the disabled deer hunt. Last year, 81 landowners made more than 78,000 acres of land available to hunters with disabilities.
They provided opportunities for more than 360 disabled hunters to get out into the field and enjoy the outdoors. A full list of landowners sponsoring a hunt will be available on DNR website after June 1. Qualified hunters are encouraged to contact sponsors soon after the list is made available.
