Good morning neighbors.

I am a WI resident who will be visiting the French Creek Wildlife Area. I am wondering if it is legal for me to carry there, and also if it is legal to target practice (both pistol and rifle) there:question:

I have a MN, UT, and WI CCL.

Please cite to authority in your response.

Thank you,

Thank you,

The wildlife area nearest to me (Des Moines) is posted "no target shooting". Probably true for all DNR lands...not sure though.

I wondered something similar, and according to the DNR you may target shoot on game management areas unless there is a sign prohibiting it.

See attachment, which is the email I received from them.
