Register That Deer- It's Required!
Register your deer through GameReg by 5 p.m. the day after recovery. All registration is electronic.
- Register online: (fastest and easiest method): gamereg.wi.gov.
- Register by phone: 1-844-426-3734 (1-844-GAMEREG) (available 24 hours). When prompted, use the numbers on your phone keypad to spell the first three letters of the county. For example, for Adams County, enter A-D-A by pressing “232.”
- Register in person: Find a station that offers a phone or computer for registration at dnr.wi.gov and search “registration stations.”
Have your deer harvest authorization number available to enter at the start of the registration process.
You will receive a 10-character confirmation number for your records once your deer has been successfully registered. For white-tailed deer, all confirmation numbers begin with “W” and are issued in the format W12-345-6789.
