OK now let me get this straight. Crappy habitat = too many deer were surviving just fine (Very Bad thing!). Great habitat = Hardly any deer but boy can the two that are left eat good (Great News). If the habitat is getting so much better, why does antler growth still suck? I'm seeing 1 1/2 yr old spikes in my community where the deer even get hand outs. It seems to me if there used to be a lot of deer the habitat could support them or they all would have starved to death. Going by current logic if we converted all of PA into a desert we would have about 2 million deer.
