The DNR is expecting to see an increase in the number of deer hunters this year, as sales for gun deer licenses are up nearly 10% from last year. The DNR is encouraging hunters to wear masks and socially distance when with people from outside their households. The agency is encouraging people to skip deer camps. Eric Lobner, wildlife management bureau director for the DNR, suggests people hunt during the day but avoid the evening social activities where there’s a greater risk of spreading COVID.
