Hunters stand good chance of falling if hunting from a tree stand
Is it time to get hunters back on the ground?
MADISON -- One in every three hunters who hunt from a tree stand will
fall at some point in their hunting career and of those, 75 to 80
percent occurs while ascending or descending the tree.
A recent study by the International Hunter Education Association
showed that nationally, 300-500 hunters are killed annually in tree
stand accidents and another 6,000 will have tree stand related injuries.
Wisconsin has had three reported fatal tree stand falls already this
year, according to Jon King, hunter education administrator for the
Department of Natural Resources.
“Tree stand incidents are one of the leading causes of injury to
hunters so we strongly urge hunters to use follow safety measures when
hunting from a tree stand,” King said.

Rewards and license deals part of the package for this year’s gun-deer hunt
New hunters and hunters returning after 10-year absence eligible for $5 first-time license
MADISON -- Seasoned hunters who share their enthusiasm and expertise
about Wisconsin’s gun-deer hunt may be eligible to earn a discounted
license for their next seasons while their first-time hunter apprentice
may be eligible for a $5 license.
Department of Natural Resources hunting and shooting sport
coordinator Keith Warnke says this is a fun way to earn some financial
rewards while helping a friend or family member learn about Wisconsin’s
hunting traditions first-hand.
“Hunters who are able to recruit three new people into hunting are
eligible for a half-price license the following year,” Warnke said.
“This is made possible under a new program to reward hunters for helping
ensure the future of hunting.”
The benefits also extend to the new hunter – as well as the hunter
who has been away from the tradition for about a decade or longer.
“Plus, this benefit extends to anglers and trappers,” Warnke said.
“Discounted fees are available for residents and nonresidents alike
and are automatically applied when you buy a license,” Warnke says.
“Some may be eligible for the $5 license which is quite a deal.”
Hunter apprentices who purchase a first-time hunter’s license for $5
can help their mentor by calling the DNR at 888-936-7463 and give their
mentor a point by simply providing the mentor’s identification number as
the person who recruited them.
More information is available by searching the DNR website for first-time buyer, and on a 2013 Deer Hunt Share the good times and good food feature page.
