If I have a concealed carry license or I am a qualified former law enforcement officer who is authorized to carry a concealed handgun,can I now possess this handgun while shining deer or other wild animals for viewing purposes? No.The legislation involving carrying concealed weapons,as well as the transportation of handguns,did not make any changes to the shining restrictions. It continues to be illegal to shine for wild animals while in possession of a any bow, crossbow or firearm,even if the firearm is a handgun possessed by a person who has a concealed carry license,or is a firearm possessed by a retired or former law enforcement officer.It also continues to be illegal to shining between the hours of 10pm and the following 7am from September 15th through December 31st,even if a person does not possess any firearm,bow or crossbow.Additional local county restrictions may also apply. 3. Possession of Firearms in State Wildlife Refuge Areas If I have a license to carry a concealed weapon,or I am a qualified former law enforcement officer,can I now carry a loaded and uncased firearm in a wildlife refuge where firearms are normally required to be unloaded and encased ?
Applications for a license to carry a concealed weapon must be obtain from and submit to the Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ),and not the DNR.Licenses will not be available until November 1,2011 when the new laws and license take effect.For more information about laws related to carrying a concealed weapon,or about getting and submitting an application for a CCW License,we recommend you check out the DOJ web site at:http://www.doj.state.wi.us/dles/cib/ConcealedCarry/ ConcealedCarry.asp 9. How do I obtain a Duplicate Hunter Education Certificate? Should your Wisconsin safety education certificate become lost or destroyed,you may obtain a duplicate by following the steps below: * You can purchase and print a duplicate safety education certificate from home. Go to Wisconsin’s Online Licensing Center.OR * Locate a DNR Service Center or a DNR License Sales Agent nearest you to purchase and receive a duplicate safety education certificate over the counter. * FEE:There is a $2.75 charge for a duplicate safety education certificate.
Beginning on Nov.1,2011,a person with a concealed carry license will be allowed * http://dnr.wi.gov/org/es/enforcement/safety/duplic.htm to possess a handgun which is loaded and uncased (concealed or unconcealed),and What if I took hunter education in another state or country? a qualified former law enforcement officer may possess the type of firearm they The law which establishes that certification under the Wisconsin hunter qualified with and which is indicated on their certification card,loaded and uncased education program is one of the acceptable types of training required to obtain a (concealed or unconcealed) in a wildlife refuge.This exemption however does not Concealed Weapons license also states that a substantially similar program that allow such persons to hunt or discharge their firearm in the refuge. is established by another state,country,or province and that is recognized by the 4. Possession of Firearms in State Parks & State Fish Hatcheries Wisconsin DNR would also qualify.Wisconsin DNR currently recognizes the hunter If I have a license to carry a concealed weapon,or I am a qualified former law education programs established by all other states,countries and provinces.If enforcement officer,can I now carry a loaded and uncased firearm in a Wisconsin you completed a hunter education program in another state,country or province, State Park or State Fish Hatchery where firearms are normally required to be and need to get a duplicate copy of your certification,you must contact that state, unloaded and encased ? country or province. Beginning on Nov.1,2011,a person with a concealed carry license will be allowed to possess a handgun which is loaded and uncased (concealed or unconcealed),and a qualified former law enforcement officer may possess the type of firearm they qualified with and which is indicated on their certification card,loaded and uncased (concealed or unconcealed) in a Wisconsin State Park or State Fish Hatchery.This exemption however does not allow such persons to hunt or discharge their firearm in the Wisconsin State Park or State Fish Hatchery,nor does it allow bringing the firearm inside state owned buildings on these properties which are posted with signs that provide notice that firearms are not allowed in the building.
10. Will the DNR be Changing the Curriculum of the Hunter Education Classes to include Laws on Carrying Concealed Weapons ?
species which may be hunted with handgun and the caliber and barrel length minimums have not change.
In most of the state,it is generally still not legal to possess a loaded or uncased firearm while afield on the Friday before the regular 9-day November gun deer season.However,as a result of the new legislation which takes effect on Nov.1,2011, a person who possesses a CCW license will be able to possess a loaded and uncased handgun on this day anywhere they are normally allowed to possess the handgun.
No.The DNR’s hunter education course will remain the same.The Department of Natural Resources is not required,nor do we have any plans to modify our current hunter education course of instruction to include any new material or training specific to handguns or carrying a concealed weapon.The only correlation that the hunter education program has to the licenses to carry a concealed weapon is that it simply happens to be one of the types of training that the legislature has considered acceptable to qualify for a person to apply for a carry concealed weapon 5. Age for Possession or Hunting with a Handgun (CCW) license,along with needing to be at least age 21,a Wisconsin resident and Did the concealed carry legislation change the age of persons who may go armed not prohibited from possessing a firearm.A person has many other options to obtain firearms training to qualify for a CCW license. with a handgun,hunt with a handgun or the species which may be hunted with a handgun? 11.

Are You Ready?
6. Carrying a Concealed Firearm while Hunting If I am at least 18 years old and can legally hunt with a handgun,can I also carry that handgun concealed under my jacket or in a backpack while I am hunting? Beginning on Nov.1,2011,a person who is at least age 21 and who authorized to carry a concealed handgun,such as a person who holds a license authorizing them to carry a concealed weapon,will also be able to possess a concealed handgun while hunting.In addition,a person who owns,leases,or is the legal occupant of land and who is at least age18,will be allowed possess a concealed handgun while hunting on those lands without the need for a license to carry a concealed weapon.To use the concealed handgun for hunting purposes,the handgun must be a legal size and caliber for the species being hunted.It continues to be illegal to possess concealed long guns.

7. Possession of Firearms on DNR lands in Certain Counties, State Forests and Recreational Areas. Have the restrictions on possessing a loaded or uncased firearm on DNR owned lands changed in those counties or DNR properties were it is not legal to possess a loaded uncased firearm when not engaged in lawful hunting unless at a designated range or engaged in a permitted dog trial or training? Yes.On DNR lands within state parks,state fish hatcheries or wildlife refuge areas in the below listed counties,individuals with a concealed carry license as well as qualified former law enforcement officers possessing proper ID and firearm certificate can possess loaded and uncased handguns.
Rifles and shotguns possessed by any person,and handguns possessed by a person without a CCW license still need to be unloaded and enclosed in a case while afield on this Friday before the regular 9-day November gun deer season.The normal exceptions for possessing a loaded uncased firearm continue to apply to persons lawfully hunting small game in the CWD zone,hunting waterfowl statewide, sighting in firearms at an established range or on land that the person owns,or hunting on a licensed hunting preserve. 12. Can a“Mentor” carry a handgun under a CCW license in addition to the firearm or bow being used by the person they are mentoring under the Hunting Mentorship Program ?
No.The hunting mentorship program statutes only allows the person being mentored and the mentor to possess one firearm jointly between them.This prevents even a person who is authorized under other laws to carry a concealed handgun,such as a person with a CCW license or an off-duty law enforcement officer, from possessing a 2nd firearm while mentoring or being mentored.Like shining for deer,the activity the person chooses to engage in can restrict them from possessing a concealed or unconcealed handgun.If the person being mentored is age 18 or older and will be hunting with the handgun,the mentor with a CCW license (21 or older) could carry that same handgun concealed during the hunt,as they would only have one firearm jointly.

Carcass Tags
Season Dates
NOTE:Check the 2011 Wisconsin Deer Hunting Regulations for a complete set of dates and units,including CWD units.
While hunting, no person may possess a validated carcass tag (of any kind) unless it is attached to a legally harvested deer.It is illegal to possess, move, or transport an untagged deer.The proper carcass tag must be immediately validated and attached to the harvested deer.
Archery: Sept.17 – Nov.17
Gun Buck Deer Carcass Tag
Nov.18 – Jan.8,2012
Valid in any Deer Management Unit (DMU) statewide during the appropriate gun deer season (not valid Oct.13-16 in CWD units or Dec.8-11 statewide) for harvesting a buck with a firearm including muzzleloaders (see pages 11 and 13 for Military and Disabled hunter exceptions).in CWD earn-a-Buck units, this tag can be used to tag a buck without a Buck Authorization Sticker or the need to first tag an antlerless deer. Additional bucks harvested in CWD units must be tagged with an unused deer carcass tag that has a valid Buck Authorization Sticker affixed to the back OR must be accompanied by an unregistered antlerless deer tagged by the same hunter until both deer are registered.
NOTE: Archery harvests are restricted to antlerless-only in all units statewide Dec.8-11 with valid carcass tags (deer hunting will not be allowed in non-quota areas and state parks located outside of the CWD Management Zone).
Gun: Regular Gun: Nov.19 – 27 Muzzleloader: Nov.28 - Dec.7 NOTE:Hunters are reminded that coyote hunting is closed in approximately the northern third of the state if any gun or muzzleloader deer hunt is in progress. See the 2011 Wisconsin Deer Hunting or Small Game Regulations for the southern boundary of the closed area.The coyote hunting season will remain open during the two-day youth gun deer hunt on Oct.8 – 9.As with all hunting seasons, hunters are reminded to be absolutely sure of their target before they shoot. Mistakes in identification can be very costly.
Antlerless Deer Carcass Tags Unit Specific– Unit specific Antlerless Deer Carcass Tags are only valid for tagging one antlerless deer in the unit specified on the tag.This tag is not weapon-specific.Unit specific antlerless tags for regular units* are $12.00 for residents and $20.00 for non-residents ($5 for youth ages 10 and 11) and can be purchased at any DNR license vendor, online at dnr.wi.gov, or by phone.for all regular Dmus, these tags will be sold starting at noon on Saturday, August 20. * 8 regular DMUs will not have unit specific antlerless tags available in 2011. These units are:3, 7, 29B, 34, 35, 39, 44, and 45.
Licensing Requirements
• Your backtag must be displayed where it can be clearly seen in the center of the back of your outermost garment.Note:the backtag number must not be hidden by a coat hood,displayed upside down or be marked up in any manner.
Herd Control and Earn-A-Buck (EAB)– This Antlerless Deer Carcass Tag is only valid for tagging one antlerless deer in Herd Control and CWD EAB units, and is not valid for regular units or non-quota areas (see map on page 29).This tag is not weapon-specific.One tag is issued free with each gun deer license to persons age 18 or older and with each archery license to each person age 10 or older (individuals age 18 or older will receive two of these free antlerless tags if they purchase both the Archery and Gun Deer License or a Conservation Patron License).Additional tags are available for $2.00 each at any authorized license agent, online at dnr.wi.gov, or by phone.
• A Gun Deer License is required to hunt deer with a firearm (including muzzleloaders). • An Archery License is required to hunt deer with bow and arrow (or crossbow by qualified individuals as described on page 18 of the 2011 WI Deer Hunting Regulations under“Bows,arrows and crossbows”). • It is illegal to allow someone else to use or carry your license,carcass tag or buck authorization sticker or for you to use or carry some other person’s license, carcass tag or buck authorization when engaged in hunting.
Youth Under Age 18 – Youth ages 10-17 will be issued a statewide Antler-
Buck Authorization Stickers are used to validate the earner’s Gun Antlerless Deer Carcass Tag, Archery Antlerless Deer Carcass Tag, or 2011-12 and 2012-13 CWD Deer Carcass Tags for a buck. It is not necessary to use a Buck Authorization Sticker to validate a Gun Buck or Archery Buck Deer Carcass Tag in CWD units.
This light blue Buck Authorization Sticker would have been earned during the 2010 deer hunting season by registering an antlerless deer in a CWD EAB unit or by having registered a CWD-positive buck during the 2010 regular hunting season.If this sticker was not used in 2010 to validate a buck carcass tag it is still valid for that hunter in the 2011 deer hunting season in a CWD Management Zone (CWD-MZ) unit. The 2011 Buck Authorization Sticker is purple and can be earned during the 2011 deer hunting season by tagging and registering an antlerless deer in a CWD-MZ unit.The hunter will receive his/her sticker at the registration station when registering an antlerless deer or by mail if the deer was harvested and registered during the 2011 CWD Landowner Permit Season.This sticker can be used during the 2011 deer season in a CWD unit or, if not used in 2011, it can be used in an EAB unit during the 2012 deer season.Be sure not to misplace it.Replacement Buck Authorization Stickers will also be issued to any hunter who harvests a buck that tests CWD-positive during the 2011 regular deer hunting season.The DNR will mail a letter with a replacement 2011-2012 Buck Authorization Sticker attached to a CWD-MZ Carcass Tag to hunters that harvest a CWD-positive buck. Hunters will be allowed to keep the meat, antlers, hide, and any other parts of the CWD-positive buck.If a hunter chooses to not keep any part of the CWDpositive buck, they are reminded to properly dispose of the parts so they end up in a landfill.Removing CWD-positive deer from the landscape is an important management tool and the DNR offers these replacement Buck Authorization Stickers as a token of our appreciation for your assistance in managing CWD.
Vehicle: includes any device,motorized or not,in,upon,or by which any person or property is or may be transported or towed upon a highway or other roadway.

The buck mortality and fawn recruitment studies will provide information on the magnitude and relative importance of various causes of buck mortality (hunting, predation, vehicle collisions, weather, etc.), and causes of mortality and rates of loss of fawns (including the roles of predation, habitat, and weather) across northern (Sawyer, Price, and Rusk Counties) and east-central (Shawano,Waupaca, and Outagamie Counties) Wisconsin.
Wisconsin Deer Donation 2011
The Wildlife Damage Deer Donation program will be continuing Wisconsin’s autumn tradition.Since the program began in 2000, hunters have donated over 77,000 deer which were processed into over 3.4 million pounds of ground venison.The voluntary venison processing donation code added to the ALIS system in 2002 has netted more than $129,000 from over 40,000 hunters.
Wisconsin has a network of venison donation efforts including:Hunt for the Hungry, which operates in the Green Bay area; Target Hunger, which handles donations from the Chronic Wasting Disease Management Zone; and the Wisconsin Venison Donation Program, which covers all remaining areas of the state.USDA - Wildlife Services staff also help administer the programs in 49 counties.A total of 128 meat processors representing 56 counties are participating in the program in 2011.
be distributed to charitable organizations to help feed Wisconsin’s needy.
Please check our website for updates.Information on participating processors will be updated as soon as counties complete the contracts and forward this information to us. Hunters please help Target Hunger and the statewide deer donation program“Feed The Need!”Please consider switching to non-toxic ammunition as even a very small amount of lead in a deer carcass is toxic to humans and wildlife.Page 21 of the Deer Hunting Regulations booklet lists recommendations to reduce the risk of lead in venison and also lists links on where to find copper bullets and non-toxic ammunition for hunting.Thank you for your interest and good luck hunting!
The Target Hunger program will again be administering the program in the CWD Zone.Groups supporting Target Hunger include: * Southwest Community Action Program, Dodgeville * Community Action, Inc., Janesville
* Community Action Coalition for South Central Wisconsin, Madison * Central WI Community Action Coalition,Wisconsin Dells Hunters, you can help feed needy people throughout Wisconsin this fall by taking 5 simple steps: 1.Donate any legally harvested deer taken outside the Chronic Wasting Disease Zone by dropping it off at a participating processor by January 10, 2011.Deer taken outside the CWD Zone are registered with a silver metal tag.Only silver tagged deer may be donated to this program.

Importantly, researchers have captured and marked numerous deer throughout these areas.External markings on deer include mortality-sensing radiocollars and metal ear tags.The Department would like to make clear that if hunters encounter any of these animals while hunting this fall, they are legal to harvest.The Department asks hunters to treat these deer as they would any other deer, and to make the decision about whether or not to harvest them as if they were not marked.The Department has provided contact information on all radiocollars and ear tags and asks that hunters report harvest information of all marked animals by contacting DNR Research Scientist Christopher Jacques at 608-221-6358 (i.e., the number listed on collars and ear tags). Obtaining harvest information on all study animals is critical and the Department thanks everyone for their assistance with collecting and reporting this important information.Please feel free to contact Christopher Jacques at 608-221-6358 if you have additional questions about our deer research program.Thank you, and good luck hunting!
Beginning in 2010, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources made its greatest investment ever in Wisconsin deer research.Federal Wildlife Restoration Act funds are being used to conduct a number of research projects to improve our deer population knowledge, including buck mortality and fawn recruitment studies.The University of Wisconsin–Madison, University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point,Wisconsin Conservation Congress,Whitetails Unlimited, Safari Club International, AFL-CIO, Union Sportsmen’s Alliance, and numerous Wisconsin citizens are key partners in these research efforts.We will be looking for help from additional partners to increase our capacity for gathering valuable information through these multi-year research studies.

Safe Handling of Deer
Hunters
General Precautions
• Wear rubber or latex gloves when field dressing carcasses.
• Do not eat the eyes,brain,spinal cord, spleen,tonsils or lymph nodes of any deer.
• Bone out the meat from your animal. • Remove all internal organs.
• Do not eat any part of a deer that appears abnormal.
• Minimize the handling of brain,spinal cord,spleen,and lymph nodes
• If your deer is sampled for CWD testing, wait for test results before eating the meat.
• Do not use household knives or utensils. • Use equipment dedicated to field dressing only.
• Thoroughly clean knives and equipment. Use a 50/50 solution of chlorine bleach and water to soak all butchering tools for one hour and to wipe down all countertops and work areas. • Request that your animal be processed individually and not combined withmeat from other animals. • Avoid use of saws. Do not cut through spine or skull except to remove the head.Use a knife designated only for this purpose.

Lead in Venison
Deer harvested with lead bullets have been shown to have tiny lead particles or fragments remaining in the processed meat.These are often too small to be seen and can disperse far from the wound channel.Although lead in venison does not rival lead paint in older homes as a health risk for the public,the risk is not low enough to ignore.Children under 6 years and pregnant women are at the greatest risk from lead exposure.The amount of lead found in a small percentage of venison samples suggests that long term effects of lead consumption could occur in people who regularly eat venison shot with lead ammunition.However,there is currently no known evidence linking human consumption of venison to lead poisoning. The following suggestions can reduce potential exposure to lead in venison: • Consider alternative expanding non-lead ammunition such as copper or other high-weight retention lead bullets,such as bonded bullets. • Practice marksmanship and outdoor skills to get closer,making cleaner,lethal shots away from major muscle areas. Aim for the vitals behind the shoulder,or the neck or the head.Don’t shoot at running deer. • Avoid consuming internal organs as they can contain extra lead from heart-lung shots. • Process small batches so you can frequently check the grinder and remove lead fragments.
Brain
• Remind your meat processor to not use deer meat with excessive shot damage.Trim a generous distance away from the wound channel and discard any meat that is bruised,discolored or contains hair,dirt,bone fragments or grass.This is an important issue that will continue to be investigated.
Lymph nodes and other parts shown here will be removed during normal field dressing. Removing fat, membranes and cords from meat will remove the rest of the lymph nodes.
