The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has announced that the 2021 County Deer Advisory Councils’ (CDAC) planning meetings will take place virtually March 22nd through April 1st to discuss the upcoming deer seasons.
Everyone has a say about the deer herd in Wisconsin and the DNR wants to hear from you. Anyone interested in listening to their county’s meeting can join from the comfort of home.
Every county in Wisconsin has its own CDAC and each spring they meet to develop recommendations for antlerless harvest goals, antlerless tag availability, and season options for their county.
The recommendations for the 2021 deer hunting season are provided to the Natural Resources Board along with recommendations from the DNR. Councils will develop their recommendations using two meetings separated by a public input period to provide transparency and multiple opportunities for public input.
After each meeting, the DNR will update the CDAC webpage with meeting summaries and preliminary recommendations.
The public can submit questions about the process to DNRCDACWebMail@wisconsin.gov.
More information is available on the DNR’s County Deer Advisory Councils webpage.
