Great little survey to fill out!
The DNR and Citizen Deer Advisory Councils (CDACs) are seeking public feedback on Wisconsin's deer management, including harvest quotas, management zones and more ahead of the 2026 deer season.
You can help shape local deer herd management preferences by providing input during the online input period (April 4-12). This feedback will be discussed by the CDACs as they develop local recommendations for the DNR.
Share your feedback through the online survey: https://dnrwi.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1zfpr5r2MlgddTo
You can also participate in-person by attending the CDAC meetings (April 20-30). Join the discussion about local deer management and provide input on deer season details. Meetings include a review and discussion of current unit data on harvest trends, herd health, the deer hunter experience and deer/human conflict issues like crop and property damage.
The CDAC meetings are posted on the Citizen Deer Advisory Council webpage and on the DNR's Events Calendar.
