NR 10.104(4) (4) Deer population objectives. A deer population objective shall be established for each management unit except for tribal reservation units identified in s. NR 10.28 (1).

Make recommendations to the department for deer population objectives every three years and will annually recommend antlerless deer permit quotas and hunting season framework options necessary to maintain the deer herd in balance with its range, population objective and sustainable harvest objectives. The recommendations of county deer management councils shall be presented to the board by the chair of the Conservation Congress.

NR 10.104(5)(d) (d) Operation of county deer management advisory councils.
