There is an article in the August 2005 Buckmasters magazine, about PA's deer management. It is titled " A House Divided"
It is about the deer debate here in PA. It does say that PA had its Forests certified by the Scientific Certification System. They were approved on one condition, that the state cut its deer numbers. It says that they get recertified every 5 years. It goes on to say that that one condition can't be ignored ( deer reduction)
So perhaps the forests are already certified. My theory doesn't hold water then.
I wonder why the PGC won't address this issue.
Maybe only some of the forests have been certified? Like areas in the 2G area that has fences up around them to keep the deer out. Actually people all so.
