Hikers Wear Orange – Fall Hunting Season Info

The fall hunting season is here, so HIKERS SHOULD WEAR ORANGE OR OTHER BRIGHT COLORED CLOTHING while hiking.

Also, don’t forget about your furry friends – putting something orange on them is also a good idea.

A large portion of Standing Cedars was paid for with money from the Wisconsin Stewardship program. An agreement with this grant is that we allow hiking, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and hunting (by Standing Cedars permit).

The hunting seasons start September 12th, and go until the first weekend in January. This year there is an extended Archery & Crossbow season until January 31, 2027.

The youth deer gun hunt is the weekend of October 10 and 11. Hikers should WEAR ORANGE and avoid Engelwood on those dates.

The regular deer gun season starts Nov 21 – NO hiking advised during the deer gun season.

There will be a deer carcass dumpster at the south Englewood Parking lot this fall.

There will hopefully be a CWD Kiosk located in the parking lot at Federated Co-op just south of Osceola.
