Wisconsin’s proud sporting tradition revolves around whitetail deer hunting, anchored by the iconic fall gun season. The state has a well-managed deer population and a strong culture of hunting camps passed down through generations. Black bear hunting in northern forests is another significant draw, along with turkey hunts in spring. Waterfowl hunters find success in the state’s abundant wetlands and along the Mississippi River, where ducks and geese follow migration routes. Public lands, including county forests and state-managed areas, ensure wide access for all.

Fishing in Wisconsin is equally cherished, with the state’s countless lakes—including the famed “Up North” region—offering walleye, musky, bass, and panfish. Green Bay and Lake Michigan support salmon and trout fisheries, while Lake Winnebago is known for its sturgeon-spearing tradition in winter. Ice fishing is a way of life for many Wisconsinites, who erect warm shanties on frozen lakes for walleye and panfish. Beyond sporting endeavors, Wisconsin’s forests and rolling farmland accommodate hiking, snowmobiling, and cross-country skiing, making it a year-round outdoor playground.
