Wisconsin DNR: Explore & Hunt Public Land With Online Mapping Tools

Posted on 9-04-2024

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) encourages the public to explore and hunt on public land this hunting season.

Wisconsin has millions of acres of public land, and most are open to hunting. Time spent exploring and hunting these areas alone or with family and friends creates memories that last a lifetime.

Hunters can search for and discover new public hunting areas using the DNR’s mobile-friendly online public lands mapping tools. These tools provide information on state-owned properties, voluntary public access lands and more.

Once hunters have done their preliminary research online, the next step is to scout the habitat and search for wildlife sign. The DNR recommends hunters scout multiple options in case of changing weather conditions or added hunter pressure in a particular area.
