WISCONSIN (CBS 58) -- Wisconsin is one of the most popular deer hunting destinations in the country. Next weekend, hunters from both in and out of state will head for the start of gun deer season. 

The season will run from Nov. 21-29. 

With the rise in hunters during the eight-day stretch, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is urging people to take the necessary precautions and that starts with what you wear. 

"We need to ensure that at least 50% of your upper body, including a head covering if worn, so that means a hoodie or a hat is at least 50% blaze orange or fluorescent pink," said Renee Thok, hunter education administrative warden with the Wisconsin DNR. 

Even if you aren't hunting the DNR still recommends wearing bright colors if you plan to be in a state wildlife area or other public land during the gun deer season.
