The Wisconsin DNR, in conjunction with the National Weather Service, has issued a Red Flag Warning for today, Friday, May 15, 2026 from noon to 9 p.m. for the following 11 counties:

Ashland, Barron, Bayfield, Burnett, Douglas, Iron, Polk, Rusk, Sawyer, Vilas and Washburn

A Red Flag Warning is issued when a variety of weather factors come together to create especially dangerous wildland fire conditions. Warm temperatures, very low humidity, gusty winds and exceptionally dry fuels from lack of precipitation in the region are forecast and can result in catastrophic fires.

Recent rains have not minimized wildfire concerns, as grasses, pine needles and leaf litter can dry out again very quickly between precipitation events, creating hazardous conditions.

In addition to the Red Flag Warning, all DNR-issued burn permits for debris piles and broadcast burning are suspended in 26 counties, with additional suspensions possible throughout the weekend. Find updated information on DNR burning permit suspensions on the DNR's WisBurn tool: https://apps.dnr.wi.gov/wisburn/ #/BurnRestrictions

The DNR has responded to nearly 500 wildfires thus far in 2026, with 45% of those caused by debris burning.

The DNR is asking the public to be especially careful with any activities that could potentially lead to a wildland fire and check any fires from recent days to make sure they have been properly extinguished.
Campfires, ashes from fireplaces, outdoor grills, smoking, chainsaws, off-road vehicles or other small engines with hot exhaust systems have the potential to throw a spark, ignite a fire and spread quickly. Please use extreme caution until conditions improve.

The DNR is at full staffing and preparedness across the state to respond to any incidents.

Live from the Camp

Report from camp: 28 degrees, no wind, good movement at first light.
Back at base: breakfast burritos, strong coffee, and a whole lot of smack talk about who missed.
What is your camp like?
Come for the beer, stay for the lies.

Wisconsin hunters: you have until Sunday, May 31 to apply for a chance at a 2026 elk hunting license. Selected applicants will be notified in early June.

Wisconsin residents can submit elk license applications online through the Go Wild license portal or in-person at a license sales agent. The application fee is $10 for each of the bull elk and antlerless elk drawings and is limited to one application per person, per authorization type. All applicants should check and update their contact information to ensure contact with successful applicants.

For each application fee, $7 goes directly to elk management, monitoring and research. These funds also enhance elk habitat, which benefits elk and many other wildlife. If selected in the drawing, an elk hunting license costs $49.

Story Night Tease

Every deer camp has that story. The 12-pointer that got away. The buddy who fell asleep in the stand.
Friday night is story hour at the firepit. Best tale wins a mixed case to take home.
Start practicing now.

Camp rule #1: What happens at camp, stays at camp. Unless it’s the beer.
Camp Go for Beer is a weekend for hunters to swap stories, sight in rifles, and crack something good after legal shooting hours.
Spots are limited. Who’s claiming their spot? 🦌🍺
