Weekly Blast!

According to some, “holy week” begins on the Opening Day of gun-deer season which this year is Saturday November 21st. Well, according to some, “carcass dumping week” has already begun here in the Town. What’s with that? Come on folks, there’s no need to litter our roads with dead deer – it’s disgusting. The WI DNR has a dumpster available less than 10 miles away at their service station at 473 Griffith Avenue. PLUS, you can lop off the head of your deer and get it tested at NO CHARGE for chronic wasting disease. There’s even a special kiosk for that. The results regarding CWD will be sent to you via email or regular mail. That’s important information for you to know.

In August we enacted a Deer Carcass Roadway Policy. It’s on our website but here’s the relevant part regarding town roads: Our public works employees do not remove deer carcasses unless they are a hazard to the traveling public, with rare exception. If the deer carcass is a safety hazard for drivers, the carcass will be moved to the ditch or side of the road to decompose.

So, do not call us if someone dumps a carcass on your property. Not our problem. However, if you see someone trespassing and dumping reach out to Portage County Conservation Warden Jeffrey Nieling at 715-570-4388 or call the WDNR hotline.

Join us on Monday November 16th for our 2027 budget hearing beginning at 6:00 pm.

Have a safe weekend, Sharon
