Deer Harvest Jumps in WI News | November 30, 2022 | 0 | by Morgan McCarthy It was a good deer season for many hunters in Wisconsin. The state’s Department of Natural Resources yesterday said the deer harvest was up 14 percent compared to last year. That means hunters bagged just over 203 thousand deer during gun season this year. This year’s good weather and healthy deer population are getting some of the credit for the jump in deer taken.
