The way the it works it that DLP is deducted from the harvestable surplus quota. In other words, DLP bear count against the quota and a female bears killed exacerbate the decrease in the total harvestable surplus. What that means, is that when a certain percentage of female bears are killed, then the entire quota is "capped", or has reached it's goal, whether or not the actual quota of male bears was met. So, in a nutshell, DLP bears are also counted against the human-caused mortality quota.
