Stay safe during your deer hunt
As you head out for the firearms deer opener, make safety your top priority by reviewing the basics of safe firearms handling. Other top tips? Wear blaze clothing and focus on each step as you climb into and out of your tree stand.
Water your trees
With most of the state in abnormally dry or drought conditions, your yard trees need extra care. Water them weekly if rainfall is less than an inch – newly planted trees need around 25 gallons. For more tips, visit our tree care page.

Hunting regulations for 2024 are now available on the hunting pages of the DNR website. The current version of the regulations booklet and deer permit area map also are available for download. Regulations translated into Hmong, Karen, Somali and Spanish will be available later this fall.
