Wisconsin Wildlife Surveys

Semi-annual report distributed in April and August

The reports are divided into surveys addressing five species groups: small game, big game, waterfowl, furbearers, and nongame. Interpretations to data in these reports are subject to change as a result of data verification and more extensive data analysis. Please contact the appropriate author for additional clarification or further interpretation of survey results. These reports were made possible by Pittman-Robertson funding.
