Transform your property into a deer destination
The Wisconsin DNR is hosting a virtual open house for the public to learn about the state’s Deer Management Assistance Program (DMAP). Join DNR staff and current DMAP members, via Zoom, at 6 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 16.
The DMAP is a cooperative effort between the DNR, landowners and hunters, to provide habitat and deer herd management assistance, to those interested in managing their property for wildlife. Simply put, DMAP is a partnership for healthy deer, healthy wildlife and healthy habitat.
The DNR’s wildlife and forestry staff, assist landowners with management practices that consider the ecological and social impacts that white-tailed deer have on the landscape. In return, DMAP cooperators can choose to share habitat information, collect biological data and participate in DMAP workshops.
This one-on-one relationship encourages communication and cooperation, and makes DMAP a flexible and effective deer management program, for private and public lands alike.
If a landowner enrolls 160 acres, or more, in the DMAP by March 1, they will be eligible for a site visit by a DNR wildlife biologist and forester, as well as a customized management plan tailored to individual property goals.
Landowners with properties of any size may enroll in the DMAP at any time. Those with less than 160 acres may combine acreage with neighboring landowners to reach the 160-acre requirement, and enroll as a DMAP cooperative.
