If Wisconsin had its own Dr. Deer, it would have to be Keith McCaffery.
McCaffery, 84, of Rhinelander, was a longtime wildlife investigator with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR). He left the agency twice. Once officially; once unofficially.
He officially retired in 2000, but never left his desk, remaining a volunteer for another 20 years, willing to share the knowledge he had gained over 37 years as a deer biologist.
