Take a picture and share it with the rest of the community on Port Washington-Saukville Patch. You could have bragging rights for the best hunt. Have an unusual story from your hunting trip. Tell us about it by email.

Private Land Open for Public Hunting

This year, hunters have the opportunity to enjoy access to nearly 29,000 new acres of private land open to the public 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.
