Texas Parks and Wildlife’s Managed Lands Deer Program (MLDP) rewards land stewardship with extended hunting seasons and population specific tags. Through MLDP, enrolled landowners can hunt from early October through the end of February, which is significantly longer than the general season.
We provide the surveys and management intelligence needed to qualify for and succeed in MLDP. From accurate herd counts to habitat guidance, we help you submit your application, complete the required documentation, and navigate the enrollment process with confidence.
Once enrolled, we continue monitoring your progress. Combining advanced thermal surveys with ongoing support, we help you meet MLDP goals year after year, keeping your operation efficient and compliant.
