MADISON (AP) - Disabled hunters can start signing up for Wisconsin's annual disabled deer hunt.

The 20th annual hunt will run from Oct. 3-11 this fall. Disabled hunters can get special permits by completing an application with their doctor and submitting it to the state Department of Natural Resources.

The applications are available on the DNR's Web site . Review of applications can take up to two months.

Private individuals and organizations sponsor the hunts, which take place almost entirely on private land. Once a permit is in hand, hunters should contact landowners to make arrangements. A list is available on the DNR's Disabled Deer Hunting Web page.

Last year more than 100 sponsors opened more than 62,000 acres to disabled hunters.
