Hunting in Northern Wisconsin

Northern Wisconsin and the Eagle River Area area offer some of the finest hunting venues in Wisconsin, with hundreds of acres of public forest lands available for gun and archery hunting and trapping. Ruffed grouse, snowshoe hare, white-tailed deer, woodcock and wild turkey are the primary game species. Trappers can find beaver, muskrat, otter, raccoon, fisher and mink, as well.

The Northern Highland–American Legion (NH-AL) State Forest provides a variety of game habitat, with diverse forest types that include aspen, birch, oak and pine forests. In fact, more than 50 percent of the NH-AL is high-to moderate-quality deer habitat, and 45 percent is high-to moderate-quality ruffed grouse habitat.
