You guys just don't get it. I'll freely admit that acid rain is a problem. It reduces the carrying capacity (number of deer) that the habitat can support. Have deer at a higher population than the carrying capacity, effected by acid rain, the deer will then effect the habitat as well. Only so much food to go around and acid rain is reducing that dinner plate.

Not aimed at you T. I understand completely what is going in PA. I've been to exclosures and have seen the night and day bewtween fenced and unfenced cuts of the same age. Both most asuredly receive the same rainfall as they are in the same SF. I was asking LineHog that question since he's bringing up all of these lawsuit links.
This is like Jim Slinksygoingon his deer parades and tells everyone that deer defecating is fertilizing the woods yet when he presented that to his "Icon of Icons", Severinhaus' reply was, " I don't know about that."
