While I understand the DEC has reduced DMP #'s, I'd like to know where you got sources on this. 2/3's? That conflicts with the information I have recieved from my multiple DEC contacts.
Straight from the horse's mouth: (as opposed to thesource's mouth)

Deer populations vary considerably throughout New York and approximately 20 % of the current Wildlife Management Units (WMU) have deer populations that are within 10 % of desired levels. About 15 % of the units have deer populations greater than desired while the remaining two thirds of the units have lower than desired deer populations.

It's just a standard press release from DEC - its not earthshattering news.

I wouldn't make it up.....
