The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has released both the hunting regulations for fall 2026 and spring 2027, as well as the 2026 fall forecast series. These resources provide essential information for hunters to participate in hunting game species.
Hunting Regulations and Forecasts
The DNR has published an online version of the hunting regulations, featuring a drop-down filter to help users quickly find the information they need. The online version mirrors the print regulations, making it easy for hunters familiar with the print version to transition to the online format. The print version will also be available at DNR Service Centers in the coming weeks.
The fall forecasts offer predictions for the upcoming hunting and trapping seasons, based on a thorough analysis of available species data, including federal and local species surveys, DNR research projects, weather patterns, and on-the-ground information from advisory committees and staff.
