The Archery Trade Association and the Responsible Hunting Scent Association are working together to transition the Deer Protection Program from ATA management to RHSA management by April 1, 2021.
The ATA launched the DPP in March 2016 as the threat of chronic wasting disease increased nationwide. Program participants include urine-based scent manufacturers and their suppliers who agree to follow strict guidelines and safeguards on their products to reduce the risk of spreading CWD. Their efforts and commitment help ensure the sustainability of the hunting industry by protecting the health of wild deer herds. Today, DPP members market and sell the vast majority or urine-based scent products on the market.
