People are being reminded of a virtual public hearing scheduled for this afternoon that could change boundaries of Wisconsin’s deer hunting zones in Sheboygan County.
The DNR reviews those boundaries every few years, and the current changes under consideration would affect Sheboygan County’s configuration within the Milwaukee Metro Subunit, which hosts an extended Archery and Crossbow Season that began this past September 14th and continues through January 31st. The current boundary defines the zone as east of I-43; proposed changes would move that boundary westward to Highway 32 in general, and to County KW south of County Road A-South. Sheboygan’s position in the Central Farmland Zone would not change.
The Virtual Public Hearing will be held at 5 p.m. today. Details from the DNR are as follows:
The public is encouraged to visit the DNR’s Proposed Permanent Administrative Rules webpage (under the Wildlife Management section) for a link to the draft rule and details on the public hearing. Submit comments by Jan. 10, 2025 to:
