This presentation will explore the system being used by Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (MDIFW) biologists to make recommendations for white-tailed deer population management. Population status, habitat, management, and use of the deer resource are assessed and reviewed in a public process involving representative stakeholders. Learn what management resources besides recreational hunting are used to meet established goals and objectives.
