2A isnt nearly as hard to get access as 2B and "sra" urban units where competition for the comparatively little land is fierce, though thanks to the effects of the deer program and landowner disgust, that access is getting a little harder every year. Ehd deaths the year before last had also closed some doors that I know of first hand. However there is plenty of land as this isnt an urban area, and place to hunt can be found.
Id also say the term "high density" wouldnt exactly apply unless of course you are using the word in a comparative sense. Although ehd whacked the hell outta the herd here, and we've had far too many tags for years and the herd had been decreased the last few years still, depsite claims of stabilization... I guess less than 10 dpsm like in the north would equate other "subaverage" deer numbers to "high density" by default. Last time Pa had a "high density" area on a land mass the scale of a wmu, wouldve been several years ago.
Id hardly call less than 25 owdpsm and declining "high density", especially when that density was pre-ehd and also before last seasons overkill harvest, so could conceivably be lower and probably is since its been decling every year previously according to pgc data. But hey....to each his own, and we really really need more trillium and hobblebush according to the "conservationists" lmao.
But dont worry your little heart. They'll sell. They always do.
