Somebody needs to get them glasses. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to see the understory has been abused for years
The understory you claim was abused for years produced a harvest of over 30K deer in 2003. Now the same habitat is producing a harvest of 11K deer and the forest health has not improved according to the PGC. Maybe you are the one that needs glasses.
......You just want to continue raising cattle in empty fields, don't you? I'm tired of trying to talk sense to an empty drum. Do you wish to come to my camp and see the non-existent "browse line"? I put it in quotes because it's no longer there. And don't even begin to give me your empty rattling that that's because the deer are no longer there to eat it. It's been gone for YEARS!!! Too many deer have eaten themselves out of house and home. HR absolutely needed to happen. Yes, it's not the same as it was some years ago, and I doubt that it will ever happen again with the numbers there once were. The herd was totally out of control up there. Those days are what many people refer to as "the good old days". It was a disaster waiting to happen. I have glasses. Perhaps you need your prescription changed.........
