Unfortunately all the work that the PGC has done to improve deer habitat on SGLs means nothing,because the herd on SGLs is being managed at the same deer density as DCNR land where no habitat improvement has occurred. The PGC only considers the quality of forest habitat when allocating antlerless allocations and ignores the increased carrying capacity provided by farm lands or food plots.
That is exactly what i said. Note I did not say farm crops , I said farm land. During the winter dormant hay fields increase the carrying capacity of the habitat with no loss to the farmer. Deer eat waste corn with no loss to the farmer. Every field that borders a woodlot provides fringe habitat that increases the carrying capacity.
