Bonus antlerless harvest authorizations for the 2026 gun deer season will be available for purchase online through the Go Wild license portal and at license sales locations starting at 10 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 17, 2026.

The first three days of bonus sales are management zone-specific, and the fourth day is open to all zones:

– Aug. 17, 10 a.m. – Forest Zones (Northern and Central)
– Aug. 18, 10 a.m. – Central Farmland Zone
– Aug. 19, 10 a.m. – Southern Farmland Zone
– Aug. 20, 10 a.m. – All zones available

Bonus authorizations are sold at a rate of one per person per day until sold out or until the 2026 deer hunting season ends. Bonus authorizations are $12 each for Wisconsin residents, $20 each for nonresidents and $5 each for youth ages 11 and under.

An online queuing system will be used to manage volume in Go Wild. All users entering the site between 9:45 a.m. and 10 a.m. will be randomly assigned a number and staged in a virtual queue. Users will be arranged randomly regardless of the actual time they enter the system. There is no advantage for customers who enter the site before 9:45 a.m. Users who log on after 10 a.m. will be added to the end of the existing queue in the order of arrival.

To complete their purchase, hunters will need to know the deer management zone and unit in which they intend to hunt, determine whether they will hunt on public or private land and have a deer hunting license approval.

As a reminder, a minimum of one Farmland Zone antlerless harvest authorization is included with each deer hunting license purchase in all Farmland Zone units. Some units will offer more than one antlerless deer harvest authorization with each deer license.

A listing of bonus antlerless harvest authorizations available for purchase in each deer management unit can be found on the DNR website: https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/permits/bonusavailability.html
