The Department of Natural Resources is inviting people to apply for a seat on local County Deer Advisory Councils (CDACs). Established six years ago, the local councils help bring the voices of area hunters and other stakeholders to Madison and the DNR. The Door County Deer Advisory Council will have an opening for seats this coming year. Former member Dick Baudhuin, who served on the Conservation Congress for 44 years before resigning as Chairman this past spring, says the Door County Advisory Council has had a considerable involvement.
Council members meet annually to review deer population numbers and associated data, gather public input, and provide recommendations to the Department of Natural Resources and the Natural Resources Board regarding deer management decisions in their county. Councils include representatives from agriculture, forestry, tourism, transportation, hunting, Wisconsin’s Deer Management Assistance Program, and local government. You can find application information for becoming a delegate below.
