ABSTRACT
If managers are to manage deer density and impact with hunting, it is essential to connect hunters with deer within deer–forest management areas (DFMAs—see Chapter 9) and to arm them with the wherewithal to reduce deer density. To do this, managers must facilitate hunter access to their DFMA and to permits for harvesting antlerless deer. And, they must communicate this information to hunters through multiple communication channels, as described in Chapter 22.
