Deer Herd Status Meeting Scheduled In Dundee

Wildlife biologists with the Department of Natural Resources invite anyone interested in discussing the status of the deer herd in Fond du Lac and Sheboygan counties to attend a public meeting. It will be from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Thursday, March 21st at the Henry S. Reuss Ice Age Visitor Center on Highway 67 in Dundee. It’s the first formal opportunity of the year for hunters and other interested individuals to discuss the possible structure of the 2013 deer hunting seasons with DNR wildlife managers. Local wildlife biologists will be on hand to answer questions and talk about the current status of the deer herd in these counties. Those unable to attend a local meeting can still provide their input about their favorite deer management unit using an on-line herd status summary and survey which will be active from March 18 to April 12th. To access the survey during that period, visit the DNR website at http://dnr.wi.gov , keywords “Deer Hunter Forum”. Comments and survey results will be compiled and provided to the wildlife biologist responsible for each county.
