DougE-dce, I have to call you on your assumption of elk doing less damage. In fact, the PGC extended the elk range due to the many complaints of farmers and land owners in the elk range. That's a fact. Ask your elk expert friend from the PGC. In fact, that was the primary reason for the expansion. In fact, the PGC has made offers to fence certain properties so as to minimize elk damage. They sure don't do that for deer.

I haven't seen any effort to make clearings specifically for deer, and deerdo frequent fields.

Once again, your knowledge and credibility are lacking.

And you did refer to Jim Slinsky as "Slinky", a term I'm sure you would never utter in his presence. Of course you could go to the USP / Slinsky meeting in Ulster, PA this weekend and call him "Slinky." But, I really don't think you will. It is my opinion that a man who calls another man juvenile names lacks the character to come up with logical reasoning for such an assault, and no real fortitude to speak of.

By the way DougE, what's your nick-name?
