Unleash Your Sherlock Holmes Within: The Hunt for Alternatives
While Milwaukee County Parks themselves are off-limits for hunting, there are a couple of options to consider:
- Become a Greenseams sleuth: The Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (don't let the name fool you) offers a program called "Hunt Green MKE River North." With a permit, you can hunt deer, small game, and even trap on certain MMSD-owned properties. Think of it as a real-life Hunger Games, but with slightly less drama (and hopefully, no radioactive waste).
Here's the catch: Space is limited, so check the registration process closely.
Tip: Read once for gist, twice for details.
- Befriend a Land Baron (or Just Ask Permission): Know someone with a sizeable chunk of private land within Milwaukee County (and who's cool with the whole hunting thing)? This could be your golden ticket! Just remember to be respectful and get proper permission before turning their property into your personal hunting ground.
Word to the wise: Always ensure the land is truly private and hunting is allowed before you set foot on it. There's nothing worse than accidentally interrupting someone's weekend picnic with your archery skills.
