One thing the DEC is NOT going to do is transplant deer from other states, thats a guarantee! With the CWD scare, and the fact that one of the states mentioned, Illinois, has already had a positive, it wont happen. As for the DEC planting mast trees, thats a 30 year plan for many trees to mature. Id say with all the private land out there, and the rise in popularity of food plots, etc, and no improvement in the herd, that perhaps the problem lies elsewhere.
