The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) will launch Operation Deer Watch on Aug. 1, allowing citizen scientists around Wisconsin to report deer sightings in their area, which provides crucial data for deer management.
Participation in Operation Deer Watch is simple, requires no registration, and can be done using a computer or mobile device.
DNR researchers ask participants to report deer sightings, including bucks, does, and fawns, between Aug. 1 and Sept. 30 via an easy-to-use online form.
Data collected provides insights into the reproductive status of Wisconsin’s deer herd and helps shape deer management for the state.
You can learn more about the program by visiting the Operation Deer Watch section of the DNR Webpage.
