Special Note For Deer Hunting:  The DNR has a very nice tool on their website to look for what lands around the state are open for public hunting. You can access that information on the DNR GIS map  http://dnrmaps.wi.gov/opfl  .   This is a very useful information when you purchase or choose antlerless tags for deer hunting. All MFL and Forest Crop lands are considered public lands and you must use a public land tag if you wish to harvest antlerless on those lands. It is illegal to use a Private Land tag on these lands.
