The reason that they don't rely on estimates is because 60% of the hunters are too lazy to send in a self-addressed,postage paid post card.Put the blame where it really belongs,on the hunters too lazy to comply with a simple request.

The FLIR that was done has too be done in winter because that's when the foliage is off the trees.Every area DCNR surveyed showed an average count for the entirearea surveyed.None of those areas showed excessive deer populations.Even the area that showed a concentration of 126 dpsm only averaged out to 16 dpsm.
