The USP does not know what they're talking about.Oak regenerates just finebetween ph levels of 4 and 5.Come on out here and I'll prove it to you.Oak actually likes fairly acidic soils and doesn't do well if you lime it.The USP's acid rain thoery holds no water and all the exclosures that have the same soil as the outside of the fence prove it.

Jim Grace did not say that DCNR's dd goals was 5 dpsm.That's an outright lie.He said some areas may need deer densities that low because the habitat is so poor.Many areas are still primarily pole timber and that's all the deer they can support and it's too soon to cut them.

Now the guy thinks mountain lions are helping tocontrol the deer population in 2G.Anyoneturn any mountain lions in yetand get that reward?

That forest certification was most likely a cause for DCNR's stance at reducing the deer population.However,our state forests only account for 8% of the state's land mass.That's hardly a good case to say that the forest certification was driving force of the desire to reduce the herd accross the whole state.

No,you guys certainly don't know what you're talking about.
