MADISON – New for Fall 2018, the Hunt Wild Wisconsin mobile application has everything hunters need to improve their time in the outdoors.
“Hunt Wild Wisconsin is going to help our hunters from day one – they can find new public lands, take a look at the regulations, and much more – all in one place,” said DNR Secretary Dan Meyer. “This is something our staff have worked extremely hard to roll out for fall hunting seasons – I think people are going to love using this app.”
Find new public lands to explore, brush up on the regulations, or listen to podcasts – users can do it all with Hunt Wild Wisconsin. With mobile mapping, up to the minute shooting hours, and much more, we’ve given you all the tools to focus on what’s important – enjoying your time in the outdoors.
To download this free hunting app on your mobile phone, simply search “Hunt Wild Wisconsin” in the iTunes app store [exit DNR] or Google Play store [exit DNR] on your mobile device. Be sure to check out a helpful tutorial to help you navigate the app and learn its features.
