AJ and others who are criticizing the study as not being scientific, please note the source of the article that was originally posted. It was the Philadelphia Inquirer, which quoted a "press release" from the PGC. You did not read the study itself, but only what some bureaucrat thought might be interesting and what some reporter thought might be interesting. If it appears that the report in the Inquirer and on the PGC website is unscientific, perhaps you should criticize the reporters. I would like to see the report on the study put together by the Penn State team before I pass judgement.

If in fact the report says what the reporter says it says, it will be hard to convince those who hunt in the area that there are deer there that they didn't see. I am very sure that there are deer in the area I hunt that I didn't see, but can't speak for the Sproul.
