The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has released the figures for license sales and deer harvest following the opening weekend of the 2025 gun deer season, which took place from November 22 to November 30. Though the total sales of hunting privileges experienced a slight decrease—down 0.03% to 777,843 compared to the previous year—hunters registered a notable uptick in success with 90,671 deer harvested over the weekend, marking an increase from 87,248 in 2024.
This year’s figures provide insight into hunting trends and reflect the continuing popularity of the deer season. As hunters gear up for the full season ahead, the DNR’s data may inform both conservation efforts and future policy decisions regarding wildlife management in Wisconsin. Detailed statistics and additional information on the subject are available on the DNR’s official site.
