Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Deer Program Specialist Jeff Pritzl said the agency started collecting data on deer hunter ages in 2005. At that time, 43 was the year-of-age with the greatest number of hunters. Last year it was 60. He said in five years the year-of-age with the greatest number of hunters will likely be 65.
