In 2016, 598,867, Wisconsin gun deer licenses were sold through the end of the nine-day gun deer season
DNR Bureau of Law Enforcement's conservation wardens are investigating the 5 non-fatal hunting incidents in four counties during the gun-deer season. One incident occurred in Waukesha, Oconto and Ozaukee, and two in Taylor. There were no fatalities during the nine day gun deer hunt in 2016. As always, one incident is one too many, and our hearts go out to anyone impacted by a hunting incident.
Hunting in Wisconsin is safe which is demonstrated by our continued downward trend in hunting incidents. Five out of the last 10 deer seasons were fatality-free and nine out of the last 10 deer season involved single digit incidents.
Chief Conservation Warden Todd Schaller said this downward trend in hunting incidents is because hunters know and use firearm safety principles and the thousands of volunteer hunter education instructors who host hunter safety courses statewide.
"We saw hunters following the firearm safety message of TABK and take time to educate those who don't," said Schaller "It was great to see hunters and families of hunters out in the woods enjoying a Wisconsin tradition."
T = Treat every firearm as if it were loaded.
A = Always point the firearm in a safe direction
B = Be Sure of your target and beyond.
K = Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire.
