Who issues DMAP tags the PGC and if they feel the deer herd is at a satisfactory level then it’s the end of the story. PGC should do away with or severely limit the amount of DMAP tags issued, and require proof of deer impact other than a profit and loss spread sheet. So before you use the old argument it’s there land to manage as they wish well they are not and have never been charged by any legislative body with deer management that role belongs to the game commission.
