The numbers are in, and Wisconsin’s Deer Management Assistance Program is off to a solid start!
Wisconsin's new Deer Management Assistance Program is off to a solid start. DMAP provides habitat and herd management assistance to landowners interested in managing their property for deer and other wildlife.
As of May 30, 114 applications were received, representing 46 counties and encompassing almost 44,000 acres. Landowners are enthusiastic about the central goal of the program: healthy deer and healthy habitat. Over 90 percent of applicants listed improving habitat as a main reason for applying to DMAP.
