The Winnebago County Conservation Board is giving notice to all deer hunters who have not removed their deer stands from public areas that they will be tagged. These notices give hunters just one week to remove their stands. If they are not removed by that time, the Board will remove them.
Those with any questions about these notices or need further information about this request should contact Robert Schwartz at (641) 565-3390.
