Default RE: PGC SAYS DEER ARE STARVING

ORIGINAL: germain

If it's close to williamsport sproul it could simply be one of those areas with easy access near a populated area that gets hammered keeping the number of deer very low.That does happen.
this is where sproul disagrees with r.s.b..you can have best habitat in elk county butifoverharvest of the older doe and hunters are shooting fawns, you will not have much of a recuritment next year..

habitat and weather are notonly factors, OVERHARVEST OF OLDERDOE/FAWNS is the main reason, i feel that we are seeing less fawns..
