bluebird,there isn't a SGL anywhere around here that has a deer density even close to 12 dpsm.Last week I took a short ride through SGL 77 and saw close to 60 deer.The habitat on our state game lands is managed much better thanmost private land and the deer densities are no where near 12 dpsm.

Archer,each game lands has a specific management plan and they are timbering.They just can't cut more than 1%a year.We have a very even agaed stand of timber in this part of the state and that's one of the reason we have a habitat problem.If they go in and wack down too much timber,we'll be faced with even worse habitat in about 15 years.Look at Parker dam.That area was a mecca for wildlife after the tornado of 1985.Unfortunately,it's now pole timber and thousands of acres that were once thriving habitat are now useless to wildlife.I think you'd agree that the dd in that area reflects what I'm saying.
