If you’ve lived in this state for any amount of time, you’re already aware of what a big deal Wisconsin’s deer season is. Perhaps the only thing I hear more about from people in Wisconsin during the fall months is predictions on the Packers. Though both are rooted in our state’s history, you can only directly help the outcome of safe hunting.

The traditional nine-day gun season opens Nov. 21 and runs through Nov. 29.

Other hunting dates to note are:

• Gun in metro subunits only: Nov. 21 through Dec. 9.

• Muzzleloader season: Nov. 30 through Dec. 9.

• Statewide antlerless-only: Dec. 10-13.

• Antlerless-only holiday hunt: Dec. 24, 2026, through Jan. 1, 2027 (select counties).

How tough is Christian Watson? In a scene straight out of “WWE Smackdown,” Watson left the last game in an ambulance, was treated at the hospital and returned to the stadium an hour later in full uniform.
