You may be right about it being the DCR doing theFLIR. studies.On the PCN Network they had something on there several months ago about the deer managment program. They had several legislators asking questions to the PGC and DCNR about deer populations. One legislator ( I wish I knew his name )ask if flyovers were done over DMAP areas. The answer was YES. That same legislator and one other said they would be very interested in some of the other areas they did the fly overs because they hunted there And noticed a sever decline in the numbers of deer they were seeing.

Opinions vs. Facts.......Yeah, I guess facts are better, but it is Opinions that will make or break the PGC.

How much worse can it get? What will the DCNR do that the PGC isn't doing already?

What measurements are the PGC using to determine if deer numbers are still too high, just right, or too low?

They don't have an accurate way to guage the deer population.

I'm sure that the high deer populations in the NC part of the state did impact the habitat. But, I also feel that the mature trees and heavy tree canopy do much to prevent the new growth that deer need.

I just think that the PGC waas selling doe license to make money with no real idea of the actual deer population.
