It might be your shot to get that 30-point buck this year! The mild winter in 2023-2024 allowed for better fawn development, higher deer populations, and great antler development, says Wisconsin's Deer Program Specialist Jeff Pritzl. The dry conditions this fall will allow hunters to access the low areas that deer typically hang out in. It also has sped up the grain harvest, which means deer will be easier to spot. The only con is that the nine-day gun deer hunt falls on the latest date on the calendar that the law allows, meaning less daylight for deer activity.
