Door and Kewaunee counties followed the statewide trend in deer harvest numbers this season.

According to Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources data, 339,473 deer were harvested statewide during the 2025 season, which stretches from mid-October through late January in some counties, including Door and Kewaunee.

That marked an increase of more than 17,000 deer compared to 2024, when 321,844 deer were harvested.

The biggest jump came in the number of antlerless deer harvested, which was up more than 13,000 from the previous year. Some counties, including Door and Kewaunee, offered bonus antlerless tags when hunters registered this season.

Locally, hunters harvested slightly more deer in 2025 than in 2024.

Kewaunee County hunters harvested 3,080 deer, including 1,400 antlered deer — just two more than last year.

The gap was wider in Door County, where hunters harvested 4,255 deer, including 1,979 antlered deer, compared to 4,193 in 2024.

For those already counting down the days until they can return to the tree stand, next year’s deer hunting season will run from Sept. 12 through Jan. 3 statewide, with the gun season scheduled for Nov. 29.

Door and Kewaunee counties will likely be included in the holiday hunt from Dec. 24-31 and the extended archery season through Jan. 31.
