People planning to deer hunt in the 2022 gun-deer season at Fort McCoy, Wis., attend a special Meet and Greet event Nov. 18, 2022, at Whitetail Ridge Ski Area at the installation.

The event was organized by the Fort McCoy Directorate of Public Works Environmental Division Natural Resources Branch and included support from the Fort McCoy Permit Sales Office, Fort McCoy Directorate of Emergency Services, and the Fort McCoy Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation.

The event gave hunters an opportunity to register firearms, get any permits needed, and talk with post officials about any concerns prior to the season.

Dozens of people attended.

Fort McCoy’s motto is to be the “Total Force Training Center.” Located in the heart of the upper Midwest, Fort McCoy is the only U.S. Army installation in Wisconsin.

The installation has provided support and facilities for the field and classroom training of more than 100,000 military personnel from all services nearly every year since 1984.
