Managed Lands Deer Permit Program Open

Enrollment in the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department’s Managed Lands Deer Program (MLDP) is now open for the 2023–24 hunting season. Open enrollment for the MLDP Conservation Option runs April 2 through June 15; the Harvest Option opens May 1 and ends Sept. 1.

MLDP is a program intended to foster and support sound management and stewardship of native wildlife and habitats on private lands in Texas. Deer harvest is an important aspect of habitat management and conservation. Landowners enrolled in either the MLDP Harvest Option or Conservation Option can take advantage of extended seasons and property-specific customized harvest opportunities.

Fees are charged for each enrollment option. Enrollments and fee payments can all be made through the Land Management Assistance online system. Payments can be made by credit card only. The online system will require landowners hoping to enroll to create an account and draw a property boundary. An email address is required for the landowner and any designated agents the landowner may assign to the account.

Enrollment fees for each MLDP option are as follows:

Conservation Option:

  • Standalone Property: $300 for the first management unit, $30 for each additional management unit
  • Aggregate Site: $300
  • Wildlife Management Cooperative member: $30 per management unit

Harvest Option:

  • Standalone Property: $30 per management unit
  • Aggregate Site: $30

The Harvest Option is an automated, “do-it-yourself” option for MLDP participation that provides landowners with a deer harvest recommendation, tag issuance and general guidance about wildlife and wildlife habitat management. Participation in the Harvest Option does not require habitat management practices, deer population data or the participant to work directly with a TPWD wildlife biologist.

The Conservation Option offers program participants the opportunity to work with a TPWD biologist to receive customized, ranch-specific habitat and deer harvest recommendations and MLDP tag issuance for white-tailed deer and/or mule deer. This option requires the reporting of certain types of deer data as well as completion of specific habitat management practices each year to remain in the program.

MLDP participation is completely voluntary. Once enrolled, program participants must meet MLDP requirements for the full year of enrollment.

Learn more about MLDP on the TPWD website.
