Now that Christmas celebrations are wrapped up, hunters can spend the rest of the year in the deer stand. The antlerless-only holiday hunt is underway in Farmland Zone 2 counties, which include Door, Kewaunee, Brown, Oconto and Manitowoc counties.
As of Dec. 16, 3,917 deer have been harvested in Door County, including 1,960 antlered deer, while 2,818 deer — 1,385 of them antlered — have been harvested in Kewaunee County. That total includes a combined 255 deer taken during the muzzleloader season and 241 deer harvested during the December antlerless-only season.
The holiday hunt runs through New Year’s Day. However, hunters who are busy with other holiday commitments still have time to get out. Door and Kewaunee counties are among more than three dozen counties statewide with extended archery seasons that run through the end of January.
