ddear

I conducted the same experiment in Luzerne Co. in the early 1990's when we had 40 DPFSM. I clearcut a couple of acres of red and chestnut oak for firewood. After a few years I had excellent regeneration while in the adjacent forest there was little if any understory and one could easily see for over 100 yds. It ws obvious that the lack of sunlight was the factor limiting regeneration, not the deer.
