An important reminder from the DNR.
As a reminder, all deer harvests must be registered electronically through a GameReg Harvest Report in your Go Wild account.
Registration is mandatory and can be accomplished using one of the below methods below:
1. Online: Via gowild.wi.gov (fastest and easiest method); log into your account with your username and password to access your harvest authorization or tags.
2. Online: Via gamereg.wi.gov; provide your unique harvest authorization or tag number to begin the registration process.
3. Phone: Call 1-844-GAME-REG (1-844-426-3734); a list of county codes can be found on the website.
4. In person: At an in-person deer registration location that provides a phone or computer to the public (can be located on the DNR website).
It is recommended that hunters confirm their Go Wild accounts are set up and active before the season starts.
Upon submitting all required harvest information through GameReg, the hunter will receive a 10-character confirmation number for his/her records. This confirmation number no longer needs to be written on the tag or harvest authorization but should be retained and may be required if the game is taken to a taxidermist or meat processor. All hunters will obtain a confirmation number at the completion of registration, even if registering at an in-person station.
