COLORADO (KOAA) — Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) is looking for your input on how to manage the mule deer population.

CPW is doing a statewide survey to gather your ideas and concerns about how rangers can best manage the mule deer herds in our state. CPW does the survey every 10 years.

Scientists look at the following when making a plan for managing the deer population:

deer herd size

herd health

hunting license numbers

"Some of the things that we're interested in hearing about are how people interface with deer, if they view them as wildlife viewers or landowners, and then what kind of concerns they see moving forward, and that really depends on people's perspectives, and that's what we're trying to gain right now," said Julie Stiver, a Senior Biologist for CPW.
