The DMAP program is not an effective tool in places where the majority of people hunt properties less than 500 acres.
DMAP was designed for people on small properties to coopertate with each other to kill only the numbers of does needed to keep the population from increasing at an undersireable rate. It is a very effective tool if the people on those small parcels join together and give it a chance to work. The limit is set for a designated area instead of allowing an individual limit for each hunter.
And there is the problem getting surrounding landowners to cooperate. My experience is you can not convince the people with small tracts of land to cooperate around here.
