Did you know that ferns and fungi are a major diet of deer also??? Look at the fungi on them stumps...That is a main food source also... That area was never short on either of these two food sources all year round...You know how many patches of swampy land in that area also from run off???
The deer eat that aquatic food also that grows in it... Not counting the acorns and walnuts and fruits and berries back through this stretch of area....
Think there is no food because we see all these deers by the roads eating the grass...Actually they prefer this green grass and especially the salt from the winter that is spread along the side of the road...Would you rather go out and have a steak if you could or stay home and have a hamburger??? These deers did not eat themselves out of house and home...There has allways been abundant food for them.....

I forgot the most abundant of food sources in that area....
Mountain laurel...There is acres and acres of that...You know this for a fact also if you hunt this area.... You also know that they had plenty of food and was not in anyway going to be over populated for their food sources... Do you know they are logging parts of the state forest along 322??? How would the logging industry do 20 to 30 years down the road if the deer ate all the new growth??? Not to well at all...And by logging instead of letting trees die on their own and fall over is worse for an area for regrowth of new trees???Trees die and decay..This decay becomes minerals and suppliments for the healthy start of new growth...When an area is logged,What minerals are put into the earth for regrowth???
This is about the logging industry....

Look in your Pa. game digest on pages 42 and 52 2E on page 52 is the areaof Mitches on page 42 they are giving out 21k doe tags for that area... This is the area they are doing loggin and have state timber for sale....

Let me get back more of this after I figure the map out to make sure I am looking at it right.... The maps that was posted at the beginning of this post....

Ok lets presume there is10 deer psm in 2E...And 2E is 1200sqm...Thats 12k deer and they are giving out 21K in doe tags for this area???? What the hell is going on here????Even on the posted areas I dont think the total of deer would surpass 15k in 2E.. And how many of these deer are bucks and subtract that from the number of doe tags????

2G is 4 1/2the size largerthan 2E and the largest wmu on the map and they only issued 19k doe tags for 2G....There is something going on here......
