And you can't take the number of licenses as a count of individuals. Some receive multiple licenses - say one for a doe and one for a "bonus buck".
But generally, yes, there are lots of armed hunters in Wisconsin, and their activity is incredibly safe, given the number of frightening weapons being used.
