program
(dmap)
Refer to LAC 76:V.111 for specific
DMAP rules. Deer management
assistance tags must be in the possession
of the hunter in order to harvest
an antlerless deer. The tag shall be
attached through the hock in such a
manner that it cannot be removed
before the deer is transported (including
those taken on either-sex days and
those taken with approved archery
equipment or primitive firearms).
Failure to do so is violation of R.S.
56:115. Antlerless deer harvest on
property enrolled in DMAP does not
count in the season or daily bag limit
for hunters. Failing to follow DMAP
rules and regulations may result in
suspension and cancellation of the
program on those lands involved.
DMAP participants must follow the
deer season schedule established for
their respective areas.
