Deer Decisions Start With DMAPEvery time <strong>deer</strong> hunters choose whether or not to pull a trigger, they make wildlifemanagement decisions. When hunters in an area make the same decisions, they can have adramatic effect on a <strong>deer</strong> herd’s health <strong>and</strong> population.The <strong>Arkansas</strong> <strong>Game</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Fish</strong> <strong>Commission</strong>’s Deer Management Assistance Program helpsl<strong>and</strong>owners <strong>and</strong> hunting clubs make the best decisions for their herds. Participants collect<strong>and</strong> submit biological data from their <strong>deer</strong> harvests, <strong>and</strong> receive customized reports <strong>and</strong>recommendations for future harvests <strong>and</strong> habitat work.The program is voluntary, <strong>and</strong> participation does not affect l<strong>and</strong>-access policies or restrictl<strong>and</strong>-management practices or hunting regulations.DMAP Works Both WaysHunting clubs <strong>and</strong> l<strong>and</strong>owners enrolled in DMAP may receive many benefits, dependingon how much information they give the AGFC. When armed with the right information,biologists can offer recommendations <strong>and</strong> technical support, such as:• Professional advice based on the status of the local <strong>deer</strong> herd• Potential <strong>and</strong> limitations of local <strong>deer</strong> habitat• Recommendations to improve local habitat• Annual reports <strong>and</strong> harvest recommendations to manage the <strong>deer</strong> herd• Recommendations for other species on the propertyEasy EnrollmentContact the private l<strong>and</strong>s biologist in the AGFC regional office nearest the l<strong>and</strong> to be enrolled.The biologist will review the application <strong>and</strong> contact you or your club’s representative.Participants must own or control enough l<strong>and</strong> to effectively manage the <strong>deer</strong> herd (around1,000 contiguous acres). L<strong>and</strong>owners <strong>and</strong> hunting clubs are encouraged to join withneighboring l<strong>and</strong>owners to meet the minimum acreage <strong>and</strong> increase the program’s success.Region 1: Jonesboro(870) 972-5438Toll-free: (877) 972-5438Region 2: Brinkley(870) 734-4581Toll-free: (877) 734-4581Region 3: Monticello(870) 367-3553Toll-free: (877)367-3559Region 4: Camden(870) 836-4612Toll-free: (877) 836-4612Region 5: Perrytown(870) 777-5580Toll-free: (877) 777-5580Region 6: Hot Springs(501) 525-8606Toll-free: (877) 525-8606Region 7: Fort Smith(479) 478-1043Toll-free: (877) 478-1043Region 8: Russellville(479) 967-7577Toll-free: (877) 967-7577Region 9: Calico Rock(870) 297-4331Toll-free: (877) 297-4331Region 10: Eureka Springs(479) 253-2506Toll-free: (866) 253-2506
