The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is accepting applications for its annual Wisconsin Ethical Hunter Award, which honors hunter’s actions of exceptional moral actions and character while in the field.
The Wisconsin Ethical Hunter Award was established in 1997 to recognize a person whose action represents Wisconsin’s heritage of responsible, respectful, and safe hunting. Any hunter or non-hunter can nominate a licensed Wisconsin hunter for the Wisconsin Ethical Hunter Award for their actions during the 2021 calendar year.
Although many nominations come from the gun-deer season, ethical actions can occur during a squirrel hunt, turkey hunt, waterfowl hunt, or other Wisconsin hunting seasons.
Nominations must be submitted by February 26th. You can either email April.Dombrowski@wisconsin.gov or by snail mail to:
