Hunters can participate in CWD surveillance
EAU CLAIRE – Deer hunters in the central Wisconsin counties
of Adams, Juneau and Portage are being asked to assist in chronic
wasting disease surveillance of the white-tailed deer herd during the
upcoming deer season.
“We are looking for assistance from hunters in obtaining
lymph node samples from adult deer within specific CWD focus areas in
Adams, Juneau and Portage Counties” said DNR area wildlife supervisor
Kris Johansen. “We know that hunters care deeply about the health of the
deer herd and routinely look for ways to assist the DNR with
management.”
To see the surveillance areas, hunters can go to the DNR website and enter “CWD registration” in the key word search.
On opening weekend of the upcoming 9-day gun deer season DNR
staff and volunteers from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point will
be collecting lymph nodes from hunter-harvested deer at eleven deer
registration stations. Hunters that are willing to participate in the
surveillance efforts can bring their deer in to these registration
stations, and DNR staff will determine the age of the deer, collect
harvest information from the hunter and remove lymph node samples.

Hunters asked to help track populations by filling out the Deer Hunter Wildlife Survey
MADISON – With Wisconsin’s nine-day gun deer opener approaching,
state wildlife officials are encouraging hunters to help track wildlife
populations by recording their observations through the Deer Hunter Wildlife Survey.
This easy-to-do survey lets hunters record deer and other wildlife
sightings during or after their time out deer hunting and then report
their observations online or through the U.S. mail.
“This is a great opportunity for hunters to inform wildlife
biologists what they are seeing,” said Brian Dhuey, survey manager for
the Department of Natural Resources. “With the help from hunters, we can
better track population changes and improve our management decisions,
especially for animals that are difficult to monitor such as bobcat.”
Hunters can find the survey by searching the DNR website for keyword deer hunter wildlife.”
There is more information about the survey project, a printable tally
sheet, and results from previous years such as deer per hour by deer
management unit.
Hunters can record wildlife observations until January 2014. Those
who provide their email address will receive a personalized summary of
their 2013 deer hunting season.
Dhuey says in the first two months of the survey, deer hunters
submitted more than 1,400 reports. Hunters logged a total of 2,843
trips, where they observed more than 1,200 bucks, 2,600 does and 1,700
fawns. The frequency of deer sighted, or deer per hour, varies widely by
region with the high located in the Western Farmland (0.79 deer per
hour) and the low in the Northern Forest (0.33 deer per hour). Turkeys,
raccoons and ruffed grouse are the next most commonly observed animals.
People are also encouraged to send in trail camera photos. The trail camera gallery can be accessed through the same Deer Hunter Wildlife Survey webpage.
“Take a moment to view some of the photos or watch a video,” Dhuey
said. “Check back often, the site is frequently updated with new photos
as we receive them.”
