Placeholder Image
MONROE - The Green County Deer Advisory Council will hold its final spring meeting at 7 p.m. April 17 at the Green County Justice Center, 2841 6th St. At this meeting, the public will have a final opportunity to provide comments on antlerless deer harvest quota, permit level and season structure recommendations for Green County before the council develops final recommendations.

The council's preliminary recommendations, formed during its March meeting, are available for review at dnr.wi.gov, keyword "CDAC," by clicking "Find" and selecting Green County. Scientific data and public opinion were considered when

developing the preliminary recommendations.

The council has recommended a harvest quota of 2,350, with 1,750 private land and 300 public land antlerless permits available to hunters.

The council also recommends offering two county-specific farmland zone antlerless permits with each license.

The council is not recommending an antlerless-only holiday hunt for the 2018 deer season.

To develop its final recommendations, the council will consider online input and other public comments along with professional assessments from DNR wildlife biologists, foresters and law enforcement. The public also may comment at any time before April 12 by contacting a CDAC member from an available list on the CDAC webpage at dnr.wi.gov, keyword "CDAC," or by emailing DNRCDACWebMail@Wisconsin.gov.

Green County's final quota, permit level and season structure recommendations will be presented to the DNR following the April meeting and will then advance to the Natural Resources Board for approval in May. Once approved, the recommendations will take effect for the 2018 deer hunting season.

Additional information on CDAC recommendations, agendas and membership is available at dnr.wi.gov, keyword "CDAC." Email DNRCDACWebMail@Wisconsin.gov with any questions.
