Have the last few deer season's been frustrating for you? Have you noticed a sharp decline in deer numbers in your area? 2 years ago we started a facebook page about this issue, to see if any other hunters were experiencing what we had been. The response has been overwhelming to say the least. Thousands of hunters across the state have come forward to offer us their thoughts and suggestions regarding the declining herd. Amazingly, in just this short time, IWDHM has attended two Indiana Deer, Turkey and Waterfowl Expos in Indy, we have a seat on the FWCC conservation committee, and we have ongoing communication with our elected state legislators. We have amassed a large number of members and followers on our Facebook page as well. We have been asked by the directors of the DNR and the IDFW to spearhead a pilot county deer advisory council (CDAC) program in atleast 6 counties The directors are interested in the idea of a CDAC and hopefully will champion a statewide program. Below are the current CDAC meetings we have scheduled. Stay tuned!
