MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — You have an opportunity to comment on Wisconsin’s deer management plan.
The Department of Natural Resources and County Deer Advisory Councils remind the public to attend local county meetings to share feedback on local deer management ahead of the 2025 deer season.
Each of Wisconsin’s 72 counties has a County Deer Advisory Council that meets annually to provide input and recommendations to the DNR on local deer management. Recommendations are reviewed and set annually to allow for adjustments in response to the previous year’s deer harvest, winter severity and other factors.
This year’s meetings will take place today through May 1. More details, including meeting locations, are available in the 2025 County Deer Advisory Committee Meeting Schedule on the DNR website.
