For users of Door County parks, heads up, hunting and trapping season begins November 15. Deer hunting for gun and bow users, trapping, and dog training is available by permit in eight Door County Parks owned and maintained by the County of Door. 

Moore said all hunting, trapping and training users are advised to wear the appropriate visibility attire for their usage - e.g. blaze orange for gun hunters, and beware of other park users.

Non-hunting users are advised to wear high visibility clothing, stay on trails, and keep pets on leash to avoid traps or snare lines. 

Hunting is available - by permit - in Door Bluff, Ellison Bluff, Forestville, Meridan, Robert Lasalle, Cave Point, Sugar Creek, and Murphy County Parks. Hunting, trapping and training season is open from November 15, 2026 through April 1, 2027.
