TWRA considers a deer plan
The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency’s five-year strategic deer management plan was presented during it's final meeting of the year last week. The strategic deer management plan has six major goals; gathering more information about Tennessee’s deer herd, the harvest of deer in Tennessee, and the desires of Tennessee hunters. It also encompasses the development of support programs for landowners and communities and to address potential deer-related problems. In addition, the plan aims to minimize the threat of chronic wasting disease, increase communication efforts between the Agency and the public, and identify the resources and funding necessary to improve the hunting, management, and overall health of Tennessee’s deer herd. The draft plan is available online on the TWRA website for a 30-day public comment period at; tn.gov/TWRA/deerplan. The Agency will consider all public comments and modify the draft plan as appropriate. The agency hopes to release a final version of the plan in late February.
