Wisconsin Deer Bow Hunting Season September 15th - moving harvested deer

Wisconsin's annual archery deer season begins September 15, 2018.  Wisconsin has new restrictions on moving harvested deer.  The hauling of whole deer must result in an arrival at a licensed taxidermist or meat processer within 72 hours.

Those who haul to a traditional destination to cut it up and package it may experience a change. So, if the County where the deer has been shot is - CWD Affected - the hunter cannot haul the deer any farther than the County line or adjoining County - unless the meat has been boned out and left behind the brain, spinal cord, and lymph nodes.

Recommending the discarded parts be placed in a container headed for disposal in a clay lined land fill.  These pre-cautions are designed to reduce the spread of CWD across the deer herd.
