GREEN BAY
The 2010 Wisconsin Deer Management Unit (DMU) information meetings in northeastern Wisconsin are set.
Department of Natural Resources wildlife biologists will show a video covering updates on deer management, hunter involvement in deer management, new research initiatives, communications, the DNR’s proposed chronic wasting disease (CWD) management plan and historical perspectives of deer management. The open house is aimed primarily for those who hunt, reside or are interested in the deer herd status in their respective DMUs.
Attendees will learn about preliminary deer population estimates, possible deer hunting season structures for 2010, and unit-level CWD status.
Some new DNR communications tools will be announced, and attendees will learn more about how they can be involved in the research initiatives. For information about an individual meeting, contact the DNR wildlife staff listed for each meeting.
