DNR To Host Four Open Houses On Proposed Changes To Wisconsin’s Deer Management Units

MADISON, Wis. – The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) will host four open houses in mid-November to share information about proposed changes to the state’s deer management units (DMUs). Three of these open houses will be in-person, with a fourth being entirely virtual.

The DNR reviews deer management unit boundaries every few years. This year’s review is focused on the management units in the Northern Forest Zone, the Metropolitan subunits and the boundary lines between the Central Forest and Farmland Zones. The Farmland Zone units are not being reviewed at this time.

DNR staff members will be present to talk with the public about the DMU review process and the specific proposals being considered. Come learn more about the history of the DMUs in Wisconsin, the key metrics that go into the decision-making process and the proposed boundary changes being considered.

These open houses are a great opportunity to learn more about the DMU review process and talk directly with staff. You can find additional details about these upcoming open houses on the DNR’s Meetings and Hearings calendar.
