Clark County Deer Advisory Council Holding Meeting in January
Friday, December 16th, 2016 -- 11:09 AM
-The Clark County Deer Advisory Council will hold a special meeting on Jan. 11th at 7PM at the Loyal City Hall to discuss recommendations for preventing the spread and responding to other chronic wasting disease issues on both a statewide and local level.Unlike the annual spring CDAC meetings during which quota and permit level recommendations are determined, the January meeting will focus specifically on CWD in Wisconsin’s white-tailed deer herd. The council will review information on CWD in the county and region and discuss the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources’ 15-year Chronic Wasting Disease Response Plan. The CWD Response Plan guides the DNR’s approach to addressing CWD in Wisconsin’s wild deer herd.
The Clark council will consider current CWD data, recommendations from the stakeholder-based CWD Response Plan Review Committee and online public feedback on the response plan when developing action item recommendations. Action items in the plan cover topics such as CWD surveillance and monitoring, hunting season tools, captive deer regulations, safety, research, and public involvement. Public comments on CWD-related agenda topics will be accepted at the meeting and the Council response plan recommendations will be presented to the statewide CWD Response Plan Review Committee in January and then the Natural Resources Board in March 2017.
