Section One: Harvest ResultsDeer Management UnitsThe 1999 Strategic Deer Management Plandefined Deer Management Units (DMUs) based onthe following Arkansas physiographic regions: OzarkMountains, Ouachita Mountains, Arkansas RiverValley, West Gulf Coastal Plain, Mississippi AlluvialValley (Delta), and Crowley’s Ridge (see Map 2).The Strategic Deer Management Plan establishedlong-term deer biological and population goalsfor each DMU. The statewide deer zones aresubdivisions of the DMUs. Zones allow for separatemanagement strategies to address current differencesin deer populations, harvests, habitats and land usewithin each DMU while striving to maintain theestablished population and biological goals.Deer Management UnitsAnd the 2006-07 Deer ZonesMap 2Harvest DensityUsing Geographic Information Systems (GIS)technology, we were able to analyze the 2003-2007deer harvest by total acreage for the DMUs. TheWest Gulf Coastal Plain was the most productive2003-07 Total AcresPer Deer Harvest by DMUDMU with a yield of one deer harvested for every126 acres (see Map 3). This four-year averageprovides information regarding the productivitylevels of each DMU.Map 314
