The DNR is partnering alongside Ares Armament of Oshkosh to introduce inexperienced shooters and youth to shooting and hunting sports.
Muzzleloaders
Are you curious about purchasing or hunting with a muzzleloader to extend your deer season opportunities? We will be showcasing muzzleloader basics and allowing participants the chance to shoot muzzleloaders to gain firsthand knowledge and experience.
We hope to see you there – Hunt Safe, Wisconsin!
