How Wisconsin sets legal shooting time
Wisconsin prints its hours rather than leaving them to a sunrise app. Find your area on the DNR map, read that column, then add the minutes for your longitude zone.
| Topic | DNR rule |
|---|---|
| How the tables work | Shooting hours are set by tables for Zone A of the Northern and Southern Areas; add the zone offset for the longitude zone hunted. Deer, elk, bear, small game and fall turkey: 30 minutes before sunrise to 20 minutes after sunset. Migratory game birds and spring turkey: 30 minutes before sunrise to sunset. Early teal: sunrise to sunset. Pheasant opener begins 9 a.m. (Oct. 17); bobwhite, Hungarian partridge and southern cottontail openers also 9 a.m. |
| Northern and Southern Areas | Northern Area and Southern Area are shown on the DNR Map of Zones for Shooting Hours (boundary given only on the map). |
| About the tables | Full daily tables transcribed from pamphlet pp. 30-31 (Sept. 1, 2026-May 31, 2027; months Sept.-Dec. are 2026, Jan.-May are 2027). Times are for Zone A; add the zone offset. March dates from the 14th reflect daylight saving time as printed. |
| Longitude zone | Minutes added to the table |
|---|---|
| Zone A (east of 88° W long.) | +0 |
| Zone B (88°-89°) | +4 |
| Zone C (89°-90°) | +8 |
| Zone D (90°-91°) | +12 |
| Zone E (91°-92°) | +16 |
| Zone F (west of 92°) | +20 |
The zone map the DNR links is the 2023 edition; its offsets match the 2026 pamphlet. Sources: shooting hours, pamphlet p. 29; regulations; map of shooting-hour zones, reviewed October 19, 2026.
Shooting-hour zone for every Wisconsin county
Sorted east to west. 10 counties sit in Zone A, 16 counties sit in Zone B, 14 counties sit in Zone C, 15 counties sit in Zone D, 13 counties sit in Zone E and 4 counties sit in Zone F. Both area columns are shown because the area line is drawn only on the DNR map.

Wisconsin shooting hour questions
What is the earliest legal shot in Wisconsin?
Thirty minutes before sunrise for every game animal and bird except early teal, which starts at sunrise.
When does deer hunting end each day?
Twenty minutes after sunset, as the DNR table prints it. Bear, elk, small game and fall turkey end at the same time.
When do duck and spring turkey hunters stop?
At sunset. Migratory birds and spring turkey use the second DNR table.
What are the Zone A hours on the gun opener?
On Nov. 21, 2026: Northern Area 6:28 a.m. to 4:34 p.m., Southern Area 6:23 a.m. to 4:40 p.m.. Add the minutes for your longitude zone.
How do I find my zone?
By longitude: Zone A east of 88° W adds nothing, and each degree west adds 4 minutes, up to 20 minutes west of 92° W. The county table above gives each county centre.
Where is the line between the Northern and Southern Areas?
Northern Area and Southern Area are shown on the DNR Map of Zones for Shooting Hours (boundary given only on the map).
Are coyotes fair game after dark?
Coyote, fox, raccoon and unprotected species may be hunted without shooting-hour restrictions except with bow/crossbow during the bear and archery/crossbow deer seasons; lights allowed at point of kill on foot. Night hunting for bobcat prohibited. Shining wild animals 10 p.m.-7 a.m. Sept. 15-Dec. 31 prohibited.
Do state parks have their own hours?

When does pheasant hunting open?
At 9 a.m. on Oct. 17, 2026; bobwhite, Hungarian partridge and southern cottontail openers also start at 9 a.m.
One last look at the DNR source
This page condenses the DNR pamphlet WM-685-2026 and the Go Wild product lists as they read on October 19, 2026. The pamphlet itself summarizes Wis. Stat. chapter 29 and NR 10, and those govern.
