Maybe you have forgotten that I suggested that the PGC could eliminate the need for much of the future herd reduction if they just included all of the habitat the deer use rather than just forested habitat. It is widely accepted in deer management circles that fragmented forests have a much higher carrying capacity than contiguous forests. Simply increasing the OWDD goals for 5C and 5B from 5 & 6 DPSM, to 15 DPSM would eliminate the need for significant herd reduction in those WMU's. But, instead of increasing the OWDD gaols for 5 C. the PGC increased the length of the extended anterless season by 2 weeks.
