The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is asking the public to voicer their opinions on deer hunting, namely the county-level antlerless deer harvest goals and the white-tailed deer hunting season structure.
Anyone interested in helping shape local deer herd management preferences can submit comments online between April 12th and the 25th on the DNR’s CDAC webpage.
Each county in Wisconsin has a County Deer Advisory Council to provide input and recommendations to the department on deer management within their county. Each CDAC is made up of representatives from different interest groups that provide recommendations to the DNR on deer management within their county.
Councils work with local DNR staff to schedule meetings, provide community outreach and an opportunity for public input, review population data and deer impacts on forests and agriculture, develop recommendations on county population objectives and create annual antlerless harvest quotas.
