Preliminary 2009 Wisconsin Deer Season Structure

Well, here it is! Fewer EAB units...though given some of the units still in EAB had 20% drops in harvest in 2008, not sure why it is back anywhere!

SWEET, one of my units is still EAB! Seen some bruisers there last year but no Buck tag! I now have a buck tag in my possession!

Atleast they still have Kohler Andrae State Park on there. I heard rumors that they were going to close hunting in there. I'm glad they didn't! There's a lot of deer in there! As other state parks are very good for deer hunting aswell. Just hard to draw a tag for them. I got lucky last year!

It is nice to see some changes .Where I live 63a is not EAB

Unit 25 where I gun hunt is not herd control

About time but the damage is done for a long time

My area 73D and 74B are still EAB. I guess the DNR won't be happy until you seeno more than 1deera year hunting. Then they'll claim that's too many.

Save theWI deer herd ERADICATE the WI DNR!!!

SWEET-my area isn't EAB! Go get them bruisers BHF.
On a different thought - How can the DNR have accurate counts with winter still here? Sounds like another guestimate to me. There is still deep snow in many areas of the state.

I am in aHerd Control Unit.I heard they are going to have a lot more meetings with locals about deer herd numbers. Should be interesting meetings..

Someone needs to clear something up for me.
I hunt in section 9, far Northwest, and we have had the herd control, or whatever they used to call it before then for so long, I cant remember what they did before that. I now see that section 9 is a regular unit. Does that mean we are able to just shoot bucks only, or can we buy a doe tag ?? Someone, enlighten me.

Phil- You'll have your gun buck and archery buck tags when you buy your license if you buy a patron license, and you should get a free doe tag along with that. You can buy additional doe tags for your specific unit (9) starting August 23 at noon. I don't think a regular unit is much different than a herd control unit, it's just that HCU doe tags are $2 compared to regular units that are $12.

Don't quote me on that tho, im no expert. New regulations haven't come out yet either.
