The way I'm understanding it, within that management plan, there has to be a certain amount of habitat created for wildlife as opposed to the current plan where the DCNR is awarded a DMAP tag without any kind of habitat enhancment put in place. In other words, DCNR can currently ask and recieve DMAP tags for an area of 100 year old forest with thick canopy and hope that a reduced deer herd in that area will bring forth regeneration.

As much as I hate DMAP, I really like this idea and could live with DMAP if enhancements for wildlife that happen quickly were put in place to coincide with DMAP. That's a win/win for all.
