Good posts turkey hunter.I'd love to see the out come of the USP lawsuit if it ever goes to court.There are reams and reams of indisputable evidence showing how much damage deer have done to the habitat.the only argument the USP has is acid rain.Unfortunately for them,they haven't been able to explain why the red oak is growing inside of the exclosures.After all,both sides of the fence recieve the same rain.The USP has done nothing but make themselves look like a bunch of clowns.

Personally,I'd rather see more deer than trillium but I understand the need to balance the herd with the habitat.We can't support a large healthy herdwith our forests in the condition they're presently in,especially in the north centarl part of the state.We did exactly what needed to be done.Deer numbers are painfully low in certain areas but eventually,the hunting will be better than it's ever been before and we'll have opportunities we never thought possible.
