Wild Bulletin, Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Fish and Wildlife: Each year, the Indiana DNR invites the public to provide feedback on the management of white-tailed deer via the Deer Management Survey. The electronic survey gathers opinions of deer management at both the county and state level, covering deer population management, trends in deer populations and other relevant topics such as chronic wasting disease (CWD), land access and equipment types permitted for hunting.
Anyone can sign up to receive the survey, if you have previously filled out the survey, you will automatically receive the survey in future years. Find more information at DNR: Deer Management Survey webpage.
