Baiting and feeding regulations

No shaded counties will be removed from the baiting and feeding ban through June 2025.

A map of Wisconsin showing the county lines. The shaded counties are where deer baiting and feeding is prohibited. Un-shaded counties are counties that allow deer baiting and feeding.

Baiting and feeding bans will renew with each new wild or captive positive CWD/TB result, and the map will be updated with any changes as soon as they are regulatory. Please check this page frequently for updates. Positives from wild deer and elk can be found on the CWD results webpage. More information on captive deer and elk positives can be found in the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) farm-raised deer positives list. Hunters should follow local ordinances that may prohibit baiting and feeding deer until they are notified of a change locally.
