The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources works to understand the challenges individual counties face before finalizing plans for the fall deer hunt.

Wildlife biologist Jason Cotter says County Deer Advisory Council meetings are happening all over the state, including one at the DNR Service Center in Janesville on April 23rd at 7:00 p.m.

The County Deer Advisory Council will review public input and make its final recommendations for the 2024 deer hunting seasons, including recommendations on the holiday hunt, extended archery season and antlerless deer quotas for public and private land.

This information is reviewed annually to respond to deer harvest, winter severity and other factors that impact the upcoming deer season.
