Sign-Up Starts For Disabled Hunt

Annual Hunt Begins In October

Updated: 1:54 pm CDT July 2, 2009

Disabled hunters can start signing up for Wisconsin's annual disabled deer hunt.

The 20th annual hunt will run from Oct. 3-11 this fall. Review of applications can take up to two months.

Private individuals and organizations sponsor the hunts, which take place almost entirely on private land. Last year more than 100 sponsors opened more than 62,000 acres to disabled hunters.

Disabled hunters can get special permits by completing an application with their doctor and submitting it to the state Department of Natural Resources.

The applications are available on the DNR's Web site.

Once a permit is in hand, hunters should contact landowners to make arrangements. A list is available at the DNR Web site.
