The 2023 Wisconsin firearm deer hunting season is a month away, but hunters are already gearing up for opening weekend. Early reports from bowhunters, crossbow hunters, and youth hunters suggest there will be plenty of deer to harvest again this year.
The full Hunter’s Moon on October 28 should facilitate kick off the rut, but it will benefit bowhunters more than gunhunters. The next full moon won’t occur until November 27, missing the firearm season but coinciding with the start of the 10-day muzzleloader season.
2023 Wisconsin deer hunting season forecast: ‘A season of opportunity.’
