<BLOCKQUOTE id=quotequote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote> Statewide Deer Management Unit
review public meetings start in February

MADISON – The public will have an opportunity to discuss
preliminary results of the 2001 deer hunt and the deer
population status of Deer Management Units (DMUs) at local
public information meetings scheduled across the state.

Department of Natural Resources wildlife managers will
discuss preliminary deer harvest results by DMU, proposed
antlerless quotas for the units, and any changes in the amount
of land designated as deer range in management units.
Meetings may have an initial informational presentation
followed by a question and answer session or may be open
house style, depending on location.

"We won’t have last season’s harvest numbers finalized by
the time of these meetings, but the information the field
biologists have will be pretty close," said Bill Mytton, DNR
deer and bear ecologist. "From that, we’ll have a pretty good
picture as to what the antlerless quotas will be and whether or
not a management unit fits the criteria for being recommended
to the Natural Resources Board as a Zone-T unit in 2002."

This past year, the Natural Resources Board took action to
make the Zone T designation process more efficient. The
board gave department deer managers the authority to
recommend units for Zone T without holding additional public
meetings in those units and define the selection criteria. The
board approved placing a unit in the Zone-T hunt if the unit is
20 percent or more above the established population goal for
the unit and a regular season hunt is unlikely to bring the unit
to within 20 percent of the goal.

Wisconsin is divided into 132 deer management units that
allow DNR wildlife biologists to better manage the state’s
deer population based on the amount and types of habitat and
other conditions relevant to that geographic area.

These are informational meetings to hear from anyone
interested in the deer management process and the past
year’s deer hunt according to Kurt Thiede, hunting rules and
regulations specialist at DNR. They’re not part of the
population goal setting process, which is on a three-year cycle.

Compare this statement to Mytton's most recent. <BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote> "We won’t have last season’s harvest numbers finalized by
