Local residents pack deer hunting forum

Hunters of northwestern Wisconsin had a clear message for the Department of Natural Resources Wednesday night in Maple: Deer herd numbers are down. Nearly 70 hunters and concerned residents showed up for the local deer hunting forum held at the Maple Community Center on Wednesday. Frustration with the DNR’s deer population projections was prevalent, as were concerns about the growing wolf and black bear populations.
