A dive into Wisconsin Deer Hunting Data

Last week, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources released its preliminary harvest data for the 2025 Wisconsin 9-Day Gun Deer Season.

182,084 deer were harvested during the gun season, down 0.8% from last year.

As is often the case, these numbers were met with scoffs and grumbles from some whose basic retort can be summed up as, “ain’t no deer.”
