As the Fort McCoy community manages the federal government shutdown, Fort McCoy will continue offering hunting, fishing, and other recreational activities at Fort McCoy with the following exception:

  1. Fort McCoy Law Enforcement will not be accepting new firearms weapons registrations at this time. The Visitor Center's operating hours have been reduced, and the personnel do not have the capacity to process new applications for firearm registration.
  2. Hunters who are already registered to use their firearms at Fort McCoy may continue to do so. (Firearms must have been previously registered in order to participate in hunting activities and individuals must carry a copy of their firearm registration record in their possession while on Fort McCoy.)

    • If a firearm is loaned to a friend or family member for the purpose of recreational activities, that friend or family member must obtain and possess a copy of the owner's FMF 433-1 firearm registration to show that the firearm has been properly registered. 
  3. Nine-Day Gun-Deer Season: Firearms, crossbows, and bows as outlined in the current Wisconsin Hunting Regulations may be used during the Nine-Day Gun-Deer season, except that the use of crossbows and bows are only allowed on Fort McCoy during the Nine-Day Gun-Deer season(s) as long as the hunter is wearing blaze orange/pink and is using this equipment under the authority of a Fort McCoy Nine-Day Gun-Deer Permit and Wisconsin Gun-Deer license. Fort McCoy Regular Archery permits and harvest authorizations cannot be used during the Nine-Day Gun-Deer season.
