MADISON - A new Android phone app is available for hunters who may need help learning the legal times to shoot in a location.
The "Sunrise-Sunset" app will allow hunters to learn the legal times of the day to shoot at their location.
Tested by Wisconsin conservation wardens, the app has been developed by the Department of Natural Resources Bureau of Law Enforcement to answer hunters' needs.
Using a GPS system, the app tells hunters to the second the opening and closing time for various hunting seasons for your current location.
There is no calculating is needed and no adding or subtracting of minutes is needed.
What is on the screen for an opening time or a closing time is when hunters can legally pull the trigger or when they should no longer shoot.
They also can use it to learn the opening and closing times for locations anywhere in the state or for future dates.
To use the app, hunters need to turn on their phone's GPS, open the app and select the date they are going to hunt. They can select the species they want to hunt.
Then, hunters will set their location using the traditional state map areas and the correct shooting opening and closing times will be displayed.
The app comes complete with a state time zone map tab, an informational tab and an email shortcut to notify the DNR about app needs and issues.
The app is 99 cents. Search for Sunrise-Sunset by the WI DNR to download. The gun deer hutning season starts Saturday.
