The Wisconsin Natural Resources Board has approved regulations for deer management to be based on habitat rather than county lines in central and northern Wisconsin. The decision comes after years of debate and concerns about declining deer numbers in the region. The change will allow for more targeted management strategies to address varying habitat and deer populations throughout the area.
The revised boundaries will impact deer management units in northern and central forest zones and metropolitan sub-units. The move has been backed by hunters, the Wisconsin Conservation Congress, and lawmakers, although some have expressed concerns about the speed of implementation and the need for broader public input.
The decision is seen as a positive step towards improving deer management in northern Wisconsin, where unique challenges such as severe winters and predator pressure have influenced deer populations. While some opposition exists, supporters believe the changes will lead to a more effective and sustainable deer management strategy in the region. Further public hearings and discussions are planned before the new regulations are fully implemented.
