Talk about wildlife at local area offices Aug. 15
Stop by or reach out by email or phone to local wildlife managers to discuss wildlife populations, habitat, hunting and other recreational opportunities from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 15.
Use the wildlife area office contact information on this page to find area wildlife office locations or contact area managers. Click on the link to each area office to find the email address.
As part of its statewide deer management plan, the DNR scheduled deer office hours in area wildlife offices as a way to encourage conversations about deer and deer management, enhance local relationships and foster two-way communication between the DNR and the public.
We've expanded these deer office hours into Talk About Wildlife sessions so they can include wildlife, habitat, hunting and other topics. Talk About Wildlife sessions are conducted annually. If our targeted times don't work for you, you can reach out to an area wildlife manager at any time.
