Conservation Congress Supports County-Based DMU System
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 10/10/2013

The executive committee of the Wisconsin Conservation Congress has endorsed the recommendation of the Congress Deer and Elk committee to use county boundaries for deer management in the future. The decision stems from the work of the Deer Trustee Report Action Team in a recently-released Implementation Proposal for Deer Trustee Recommendations.

Committee member Larry Bonde said establishing Deer Management Units on the county level is consistent with the deer trustee recommendation for the creation of a Deer Management Assistance Program.

"DMAP is a central element of the deer trustee recommendations," said Bonde. "Everything else either is or will be done at the county level; GIS systems, damage abatement efforts and local biologist and forester involvement."

According to the action team report, the objectives of DMAP include improving relationships between hunters, landowners and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. It also provides a means for site-specific management of antlerless deer.

Bonde says he encourages hunters to attend one of the hearings and provide input on the proposed rule package.
