Default RE: "PA deer mismanagement"

Well, I did some digging into the timber question and I think I've found part of the answer. when we look at the acreage owned , it looks at first like they arent cutting their 1%. But we (at least I) was looking at the total acreage and not the timberable acreage. It turns out that the 6000-7000 acres cut on average each year is actually about 1% of the timberable property. water, wetlands, steep hills, roads,food plotsetc dont count in the timberable acres

Windwalker, I beleive that PA timber is currently certified and the next recertification is coming up in 2008 so they obviously arent sitting on the timber hoping to get more out of it later.
