The official regulations have the final word

These dates come from rows a person checked against the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources's regulations, but bag limits, licences, draws, legal hours and closures are set there and can change during the season. Read them before you hunt.

HuntGrid isn't affiliated with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. A season shows here only once a person has checked it; others may exist.
