The PGC and DCNR are logging public land ,but they are doing it at a rate of only 1%/yr. Also. DCNR is only managing around hal of their land for timber production, so they are actually harvesting only 0.5% of their land. Also. a lot of PGC land is off limits to timbering such as swamps, areas adjacent to streams or timber on steep slopes.

The habitat in WMU 2G can support at least twice as many deer as it has today ,just as it did in 2003 when hunters harvested almost twice as many buck as were harvested in 2005 and 2007. In the 90's Elk Co. had 3 times as many preseason deer as it has today.
