Description:

Abstract:: The development of Deer Management Units (DMUs) in Florida was the result statewide public input and is a major component of the Strategic Plan for Deer Management in Florida. The end result of this process was the development of 12 DMUs with unique antler point and antlerless season regulations based on local habitat quality, deer herd characteristics, and hunter preferences. For antler point regulations and anterless season dates, please visit <http://www.myfwc.com/deer/dmu>
Purpose:: To define the boundaries of the Deer Management Units; each of which has their own unique start and end date for any hunting season that allows the take of deer.
Supplemental_Information:: Prior to July 1, 2004, the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI) was known as the Florida Marine Research Institute (FMRI). The institute name has not been changed in historical data sets or references to work completed by the Florida Marine Research Institute. The institute name has been changed in references to ongoing research, new research, and contact information.
