New Map Shows Deer Population Estimates

Weekly News Article by the Central Office Wisconsin DNR

MADISON – An online color map [PDF] that compares estimated deer populations to population goals offers a view into how population estimates are used to determine season structures.

The color-coded map of Wisconsin’s deer management units (DMUs) assigns a color to a deer management unit in one of four categories according to population estimates: more than 20 percent below population goals; within 20 percent plus or minus of population goals; 20 to 40 percent above goals; and more than 40 percent above goals.

Populations determine structure.

Snow in October!!

Eau Claire received an inch of snow over the weekend - the first time that much snow fell in October since 2002. Average temperatures for this time of year range from highs in the high 50s to lows in the high 30s, with any snow not appearing until the very end of the month.

Although many folks are divided on whether or not this is a good thing - one thing is certain: in Wisconsin, you need to be ready for anything.

Local Law enforcement officers are reminding folks to be aware of icy and frost covered roads espeically during the morning commute.

More rain/snow showers are due this week, with a slight warming of temperatures expected this weekend into next week.
