Archery & Crossbow Sept. 12 – Jan. 3, 2027
This record does not carry one regulation the state has. The declarations below are the record's own words.
kind: cross-references — description: Two of the ten deer seasons on this page are scoped to units the page names and does not define, and it directs the reader elsewhere for them in its own words: "Archery & Crossbow in Metro Subunits and select DMUs (see regulations)" (Sept. 12 - Jan. 31, 2027, twenty-eight days longer than the statewide archery season, which closes Jan. 3) and "Antlerless-only Holiday Hunt in select Farmland counties - see regulations" (Dec. 24 - Jan. 1, 2027). This compilation does not carry which subunits, which DMUs or which counties those are: measured across this whole record, "county" occurs 0 times, "Deer Management Unit" 0 times and "zone" 0 times, and every occurrence of DMU, Metro Subunit and Farmland is inside the season label that names it. A hunter reading this compilation alone cannot tell whether either season applies where they are standing, and must read the Wisconsin DNR regulations for the unit definitions.

Do not take our word for it. The document every row on this page was read out of is one tap away, and checking us against it is exactly what the citation, the sha256 and the source lines under each row are for.
Open the source document → https://gowildagent.wi.gov/Documents/Season%20Sheet.pdf#page=1If that document says something this page does not, the document is the regulation and this page is wrong. The copy we read is the one whose sha256 is above; if the publisher has replaced the file since 2026-08-08, yours will not match ours, and that difference is the thing worth knowing.

This is not a clean bill of health and it is not reassurance. It is the answer for boundary, map and definition gaps — not knowing which unit you are standing in cuts both ways — and it is the most common answer in this compilation.
Derived by rule from this record's own declared gaps, its own integrity fields and its own rows. It is not a score and there is no confidence number: the counts below count signals, nothing more.
unknowncannot be determined: the gap carries regulation but its description names neither a restriction nor an opportunity in terms this rule can read (kind='cross-references'). Boundary, map and definition gaps land here and belong here — not knowing which unit you are in cuts both ways
unknown1 page boundary/boundaries beside the cited range were never inspected. A table that continues past a citation loses whole rows — the missing rows could be further seasons (under) or the restrictions on the ones published (over), and this is the check five states went OFFLINE for skipping.
carries_regulation flag at face value. A gap mis-declared as non-regulatory is a silent miss.Current through — the document this record was read from, and nothing later than it:
2026 Wisconsin Hunting and Trapping Seasons, PUB-CS-076-2026, p.1, "Deer"
We fetched it on 2026-08-08. That is our retrieval date, not a publication date. This record carries no date on which its publisher issued, adopted, amended or last revised that document, so this page states none. Any effective, issue or adoption date the document states of itself is inside the citation above, in the publisher’s own words — nothing here lifts it out or restates it as a fact of ours.
derived Wisconsin declares 2 gaps, of which 1 is regulation this compilation does not carry.
cross-references
Two of the ten deer seasons on this page are scoped to units the page names and does not define, and it directs the reader elsewhere for them in its own words: "Archery & Crossbow in Metro Subunits and select DMUs (see regulations)" (Sept. 12 - Jan. 31, 2027, twenty-eight days longer than the statewide archery season, which closes Jan. 3) and "Antlerless-only Holiday Hunt in select Farmland counties - see regulations" (Dec. 24 - Jan. 1, 2027). This compilation does not carry which subunits, which DMUs or which counties those are: measured across this whole record, "county" occurs 0 times, "Deer Management Unit" 0 times and "zone" 0 times, and every occurrence of DMU, Metro Subunit and Farmland is inside the season label that names it. A hunter reading this compilation alone cannot tell whether either season applies where they are standing, and must read the Wisconsin DNR regulations for the unit definitions.

Who does have it
Not us. Wisconsin’s agency publishes the document this record was read from, and that document — not this page — is where the material above has to be chased:
https://gowildagent.wi.gov/Documents/Season%20Sheet.pdf#page=1Where the description above names some other document, register, office or telephone number, that naming is the record’s own and is printed in full above. Nothing here has followed it up for you, and nothing here has re-typed it.
adjacent-page content
Page 2 of this two-page sheet was rendered and read during the 2026-08-08 audit and carries NO deer regulation: it is Game Birds, Migratory Birds and Furbearers, plus the DNR address and an equal-opportunity notice. It is declared here as inspected-and-excluded rather than left to the mechanical continuation check, which cannot fire on this document because neither page draws vertical rules.

100.0% of pypdf text lines
derived: this percentage is over the units named above, on the pages this record cites. It is not a percentage of the state's regulation. The gaps above are what a full percentage would have to count and cannot.
The Booklet is not the law and is not an official edition of any state’s regulations: no state agency writes, reviews, publishes or approves it, and where a page here differs from the agency document it cites, the agency document is the regulation and this page is wrong.
It is an editorial compilation of state agency regulation documents: every row is carried verbatim out of one named document, cited by title, identified by the sha256 of the exact bytes we read, and printed beside the source lines it was read from.
