If anybody is familar with the TUSC St forest in the SC of Perry county you know there are very few deer.The FLIR listed a large area at 5 DPSM.In the past this state forest was hit hard with heavy hunting pressure and has pretty easy access.If habitat is the reason as they claim can somebody please explain to me why there are so many healthy acorns left over uneaten going into the second season of grouse?Not to mention this place has very few bear and coyotes.
I just posted something similar to this before I seen your post...Yes,there is no food shortage for these deer a all...Some years there is abundantant of food and sometimes there isn't,but the deer seem to manage allright at all times...They are not eating theirselves out of house and home as they claim they are...I don't think this is about habitat anymore and has more to do with insurance companies and the timber industry than us hunters..T
