Preliminary deer registration numbers available online during the nine-day gun deer season

MADISON – Electronic deer registration through the GameReg system will allow up-to-date preliminary registration numbers to be available on the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources’ website throughout the nine-day gun deer season.

Preliminary gun deer harvest information will be summarized by both county and management zone, and will be updated regularly from Nov. 21 to Nov. 30. So far in 2015, harvest information for the early deer hunting seasons has been updated weekly. To view the preliminary 2015 gun deer registration numbers, visit dnr.wi.gov and search keywords “weekly totals.”

NOTE: Hunters must register their deer by 5 p.m. the day after harvest in 2015, as opposed to 5 p.m. the day after the nine-day season closes in years past – this means that caution should be used in interpreting harvest trends as the data sources are different than in years past during the season.

To access harvest statistics from previous years, search keywords “harvest summary.”

For more information, including this year’s media packet, search keyword “deer.”
