The archery deer season is approaching quickly. Deer hunters can report their observations of deer and other wildlife species to the DNR through an online reporting form beginning September 12. It will be equally as important for hunters participating in the survey to submit daily observances of no deer or other wildlife species, as it will be to submit observations of seeing those species. The survey will be used as a measure of relative species abundance throughout the state.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is asking for your help in monitoring the relative abundance and distribution of deer and other mammalian/avian wildlife species in the state. The wildlife we are most interested in are; deer, raccoon, skunk, porcupine, red and gray fox, turkey, ruffed grouse, coyote, bear, otter, fisher, bobcat, house cat, badger, wolf, opossum, or other wildlife not normally seen in your area. Since deer hunters often spend many quiet observation hours in the woods, you can provide valuable information about species that are often very difficult to measure. Past efforts in Wisconsin and other states (Ohio, Iowa and Missouri) have provided wildlife agencies with valuable information for managing many wildlife species.
