December is Prime Hunting Season in Wisconsin: Tips for a Successful Trip

December is great for many reasons- getting to see family for the holidays, time off work, cooler days with excuses to wear your new winter wardrobe- but most of all it’s prime hunting season at Edenwood Ranch! December is the perfect time to visit if you’re looking to plan winter deer hunting trips in Wisconsin. With snow-dusted landscapes and plenty of opportunities to spot deer, it’s a unique and thrilling time to head into the wild. Here are some tips from our team to make sure your December hunting trip is a success.

 

Prepare for the Winter Weather

December in Wisconsin can be freezing and snowy, so pack warm, adjustable layers. Bring thermal base layers, insulated gloves, and a quality hunting jacket to stay warm and dry. Waterproof boots are also necessary for walking through icy or snowy areas, keeping you comfortable during your experience.

 

Make a Plan

At Edenwood Ranch, we offer a variety of landscapes perfect for spotting deer, from dense woods to open fields. Take time to learn the area by exploring it in person or reviewing maps. Our expert guides can show you the best spots for finding game, helping to increase your chances of a successful hunt!

 

Be Patient and Stay Still

Hunting in December takes patience (colder weather can make wildlife slower to appear). Bring a comfortable chair or stand to help with the wait, and try to stay quiet and minimize movement to avoid alerting deer. Winter’s stillness amplifies sounds, so keeping a low profile can make all the difference.

Stay Safe and Follow the Rules

Safety is a top priority at Edenwood Ranch. Be sure to follow all safety guidelines provided by the ranch and local regulations. Wear orange hunting gear to ensure visibility, and always be aware of your surroundings. If you’re hunting with others, make sure to communicate and stick to the plan you laid out.

 

Post-Hunt Relaxation

After a chilly day outdoors, there’s nothing better than coming back to the warmth and comfort of Edenwood’s accommodations. Relax by the fire, swap stories with fellow hunters, and unwind in the lodge. We provide cozy lodging with all the amenities you need to recharge for another day in the wild.
