Private Land Open for Public Hunting

This year, hunters have the opportunity to enjoy access to within close proximity of the state’s metropolitan areas.

A new Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources video captures the success of the Voluntary Public Access program in opening up large tracts of prime habitat land, often connected to public land, for multiple outdoor recreational activities.
