During the 2020 hunting season, hunters may spot deer that are equipped with radio collars. Collared deer are part of a mortality study in the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and are legal to hunt with a standard Wisconsin hunting license and harvest authorization.
Due to public health advisories, the Wisconsin Natural Resources Board (NRB) will meet virtually on Sept. 23 to consider authorizing several preliminary public hearing and comment periods and informational items.
