Wildlife management plans are a valuable tool for managing the resources on any property. The plans help set short term objectives and long term goals for the type of operation the landowner desires. Some of the information gathered for the plans includes harvest recommendations, population estimates of game and non-game species, land use analysis, an assessment of the quality and quantity of habitat available, habitat manipulation recommendations, feeding needs, historic land uses, etc.

The plans can also be used to assist with Wildlife Tax Exemptions (Texas Constitution, Article VIII, Section 1-d-1), Managed Lands Deer Permits, Trap and Transfer Permits , and other state and federal programs.
