If hunters in Wisconsin were upset with the number of deer last year, the news released by the Wisconsin DNR today is not going to make them any happier.
According to the DNR, Wisconsin wildlife biologists anticipate the statewide deer harvest will be lower than last year.
The reasons the DNR says the harvest is expected to be down are: fewer herd control units, no earn-a-buck requirement, below average fawn production, a reduced number of antlerless permits and a delayed corn harvest due to wet fields.
Meanwhile, Wisconsin officials are trying to make it easier to understand the rules for hunting.
For the first time, the regulations are being translated into Spanish and Hmong. The translated rules in both languages are available online through the DNR.
