*MADISON, Wis.* – The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) today released the 2025 fall forecast series, detailing the hunting outlook for a variety of popular game species.

These forecasts outline what hunters and trappers across the state can expect while pursuing their favorite game species. In addition to information about specific game species, they also include helpful reminders about public land access opportunities, game registration requirements and season dates.

Although these forecasts are merely intended to give predictions of the upcoming hunting and trapping seasons, they are based on a thorough analysis of available species data. These data sources include federal and local species surveys, the findings of DNR research projects, weather patterns and the on-the-ground information we receive from our advisory committees and staff.

Hunters and trappers can explore the fall forecasts for species they are interested in:
