Wisconsinites Have Opportunities to Weigh in on Deer Hunting

Friday, December 4th, 2020 -- 8:59 AM

(Wisconsin Ag Connection) -Wisconsinites have two upcoming opportunities to weigh in on deer hunting across the state.

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources will host virtual public meetings in each county to discuss deer management and a separate virtual public hearing on December 9 on the current white-tailed deer hunting season.  Every three years, County Deer Advisory Councils provide recommendations to the DNR that help determine the herd size objective for their county. Councils are made up of a chair and alternate-chair, who are members of the Wisconsin Conservation Congress, and seven members of the public who represent various stakeholder groups.

CDACs provide the people of Wisconsin greater input into local deer management decisions and are important for shaping the next three years of deer hunting and management in the state.  A list of county meetings and access information can be found at the CDAC Find page on the DNR's website.

Feel free to contact us with questions and/or comments.
