MADISON, Wis. – The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is looking for landowners to host hunters with disabilities for the Gun Deer Hunt For Hunters With Disabilities, which will take place Oct. 4-12, 2025.
“This special hunt has been providing hunters with disabilities accessible opportunities to deer hunt for over 30 years,” said Brooke VanHandel, DNR assistant deer and elk specialist. “This hunt is only possible through our landowner sponsors. Their willingness to partner with hunters and open their properties each year allows more individuals the opportunity to participate in Wisconsin’s deer hunting tradition.”
The Gun Deer Hunt For Hunters With Disabilities began in 1992 and provides hunting opportunities for approximately 400 hunters each year. This hunt is only possible with the generous support of landowner sponsors.
Wisconsin’s outdoor experiences are for everyone. The DNR is committed to providing various hunting, fishing and recreational permits and unique opportunities designed to give people with disabilities the opportunity to partake in Wisconsin’s time-honored traditions and enjoy the state’s abundant natural resources.
