In Wisconsin, it is illegal to hunt a game or discharge a hunting firearm within, at least 500 yards, from public areas like highways, public roads, etc. Hunting firearms restricted include shotguns with more than 4 shots, a muzzle rifle, or a .40 caliber or more firearm. Distance restriction hunting law in Wisconsin mostly affects deer hunting. Any deer hunting activity or gaming within the 50 yards’ restriction is unlawful in every part of the state. The state legislature passes this law to tackle safety concerns in Wisconsin. [1]
(1) Weapons. No person may:
(a) Hunt with any means other than a rifle, shotgun, handgun, bow and arrow, crossbow, or falconry.
(b) Hunt with a machine gun or other fully automatic weapon.
(c) Hunt a game bird with or while in possession of a shotgun larger than 10 gauge. [2]
A 12 Pound Mountain Howitzer Cannon is greater than .40 caliber and does not qualify as a rifle, shotgun, handgun, bow and arrow, crossbow, or falconry. Even a 4-bore rifle would exceed the legal size limit.
