Chances are, like in most states, a felony will be on your criminal record for life. There are exceptions to this rule when the governer of your state expunges your record. In Wisconsin and many other states a felon cannot carry a firearm or hunt, but in many instances if you go several years without getting into trouble and you petition for clemency you can get the felony removed, but only in some cases (NON VIOLENT) felonies will this work. And you will regain your firearm carrying rights, rights to vote, etc.
Unless a person gets a pardon from the governor, a felony stays on their record forever in Wisconsin. If a person commits a felony as a minor, they may be able to have the record sealed at a later date, but the record will always exist.
Basically, in most cases, forever. There are certain kinds of felony convictions that may be expunged or sealed, if they involved either a sentence of TASC or something special called 410 probation. Absent those situations generally, it would take a pardon from the governor to clean up a felony conviction. Please see the related links below.

The definition of a felony in the state of Wisconsin is:
"939.60 - ANNOT. - A statutory offense punishable by imprisonment of one year or less in an unspecified place of confinement may result in confinement in a state prison and, therefore, is a felony, regardless of the classification of the offense at the time of the statute's enactment. State ex rel. McDonald v. Douglas County Circuit Ct. 100 Wis. 2d 569, 302 N.W.2d 462 (1981)."
By this definition any conviction can be determined a felony conviction based on sentencing language issued by the presiding judge, provided the judge does not specifically indicate incarceration in a county jail. If no incarceration location is specified, the conviction is a felony in the state of Wisconsin. This, of course, a post conviction matter.
Under Code Section 939.74 of Wisconsin statutes:

Forever. Crimes don't 'go away' at some date in the future. They are part of your history and are always there. One of the many reasons not to do the crime!
A DUI conviction or any felony conviction becomes a permanent part of the convicted person's criminal record.
A felony conviction remains on your criminal record indefinitely in most cases. However, the impact it has on a background check can vary depending on the employer or organization conducting the check and the laws in the jurisdiction.

It's best to consult with a legal professional for personalized advice.

Question is unclear. Are you asking how long the record of your conviction will remain on file? If so, unless you committed the offense prior to your 18th birthday, a conviction is a permanent record in your adult criminal history record.
till their 18
Unfortunately, for the rest of your life--unless you are granted a pardon by the governor or the felony is expungable.
