DNR Deer Feeding Policy Draws Support and Skips Testimony
Public hearings in Rhinelander, Shell Lake, and Milwaukee drew little opposition to a proposed DNR policy that rejects general artificial feeding but provides technical guidance for feeding during severe winters. Support came from a Racine conservation officer and a Milwaukee group, while one Rhinelander speaker opposed herbicide use. The policy outlines five actions: maintain populations at goals, emphasize summer range, monitor winters, implement yard plans, and provide private feeding guidance. The plan awaits Natural Resources Board approval.
