The Wisconsin River Power Company (WRPCO) is hosting its first disabled deer hunt in 2008. The hunt will take place from October 11-12, 2008. The hunt will be located within the Petenwell Wildlife Area which is owned by WRPCO. The Petenwell Wildlife Area is an area approximately 750 acres in size that has been set aside by WRPCO as a wildlife refuge. The majority of the area is permanently closed to any other hunting activities. The area is located 3 miles east of Necedah in central Wisconsin. WRPCO is looking for a total of four hunters for the 2008 hunt. Each hunter may bring an assistant. Hunter will be chosen by replying to the questions below and sending the information to wrpcohunt@yahoo.com. In order to qualify for the hunt, a person needs to qualify for a State of Wisconsin ‘Class A’ Disability Permit. Hunters selected will need to obtain a Wisconsin Class A Disability Permit and a Wisconsin deer hunting license prior to the event. Wisconsin laws allow the holder of a Class A Disabled permit to take a deer of either sex with their regular deer hunting license.
