Howdy FCK,
Have you hunted Northern Wisconsin? Lately? I've hunted it for over 50 years. I know about the Wi DNR BS. The sheet you reference is standard DNR dogma.
The White Tail Deer numbers are DOWN. The culprit is the wolves. A wolf eradication policy has been evolving and it now looks like there is some light at the end of the tunnel. It's not a DNR policy.
