Only state parks within the CWD Management Zone that allow deer hunting will be open to the antlerless only hunt. State parks in herd control deer management units are not open to deer hunting during the hunt.
For complete rules and regulations involving this hunt consult the 2010 Wisconsin Deer Hunting Regulations which is available in hard copy from license sales agents or on the hunting and trapping regulations pages of the DNR website.
CWD management units have an earn-a-buck season structure in 2010, meaning hunters must first harvest and register an antlerless deer before shooting a buck. Hunters in CWD management units may earn a buck authorization sticker by registering antlerless deer, which can be used during a later season when it is legal to harvest bucks.
