Have you “Herd?” News | August 12, 2024 | 0 | by Morgan McCarthy The DNR expects a better deer herd in northern Wisconsin this year. The Department of Natural Resources released their annual deer forecast last week. Analysts say last winter was mild, and that should help with the number of fawns who made it through the cold months. The DNR said that means there will likely be more young deer in the woods this fall, but the herd should be much better going forward. The DNR report says there are a lot of factors that will impact the northern deer herd, but the report doesn’t say anything about wolves.
