Pabuck hntr,One of the rasons we're in the mess we're in is because the entire nothern section was logged in a short period of time during the early 1900's.We're now faced with an even aged stand of timber and the remedy is to cut 1% a year.If they cut more than that,things will be good for a while and them when it turns into pole timber,we'll be in the same mess again.While keepinga certain percentage of the forests in the seedling sapling stage is important,massive amounts of timbering is a short term solution to a long term problem.

bawanajim,You'll have to elaborate on how the PGC wastes money.they're one of the most heavily autited agencies out there.The did do a study on the wood rat,which they're mandated to manage.The PGCis responsible to mange all wildlife,not just deer.It's also not true that hunter's dollars pay for all of this.Most of these studies are funded by grant's from outside sources.
