Wisconsin DNR Secretary Cathy Stepp on the 2012 Wisconsin Deer Hunters Forums
A message from Wisconsin DNR Secretary Cathy Stepp on the 2012 Wisconsin Deer Hunters Forums
While the deer season is months away, DNR staff is hard at work getting ready for the 2012 season! My personal invitation to you is available on the DNR’s YouTube channel.
In our sincere effort to improve how we communicate and involve Wisconsin deer hunters, wildlife staff around the state has organized 35 public deer hunting forums.
These forums are your opportunity to participate in deer management in Wisconsin. The forums will be held in March. You’ll be able to ask questions and learn about the local herd’s status, and any other aspect of the deer management program. Your comments will help the Department shape the 2012 season. Local wildlife biologists responsible for herd management will be on hand. So come with questions and be an active participant. Doing so is easy.
And something new this year, we are also excited to offer a similar opportunity available right from our hunters’ own homes. This year we have created a web-based Deer Hunter Forumon the DNR website. You can still learn about your favorite DMU as well as provide input and observations to the local biologist. For a list of the locations of the upcoming meetings or to participate in the Web-based forum go to our homepage dnr.wi.gov and search Deer Hunter Forum.
Thanks for being part of the Wisconsin deer hunting tradition.
