County Deer Advisory Council Seats Available
Qualified applicants are encouraged to apply for County Deer Advisory Council seats. The application period for each county is open through July 1st. Council members meet annually to review deer management data, gather public input from citizens and provide recommendations to the Department of Natural Resources and the Natural Resources Board regarding deer management decisions in their county. Council seats include representatives in agriculture, forestry, tourism, transportation, hunting, land management and local government. Both hunters and non-hunters are encouraged to apply for vacancies, but applicants must have experience or involvement with at least one of these seven stakeholder categories. More information about applying for the openings is available on the DNR’s website.
