Deer season: public land and Managed Forest Law

The tax roll marks parcels that are government-owned or enrolled in Wisconsin’s forest tax programs. In Jefferson County:

  • Federal-owned: 297 acres in 15 parcels
  • State-owned: 23,255 acres in 875 parcels
  • County-owned: 1,729 acres in 268 parcels
  • No parcels are listed as open Managed Forest Law land.
  • Managed Forest Law, closed (no public access without permission): 4,592 acres

In WI 2026, color the map by Auxiliary Class of Property to see these parcels, and tap one for the owner and acreage. The acreages are whole-parcel areas from the tax roll: a parcel that is only partly enrolled counts in full, and the tax roll doesn’t show posted areas or access routes. Before you hunt, check the DNR’s map of private forest land open to the public and the signs on the ground.
