Tell the whole story now.The entire state used to be managed at 21 deer per forested square mile
That simply isn't true. The herd was never managed with the goal of 21 DPFSM in every county. Each county had their own DD goals.
The deer atre being managed on the way they impact the forested habitat.
If that were true the PGC would have increased antlerless allocations in 2F in 2G for 2008 ,because the forest health is still very poor in both WMUs, but they didn't.
The deer atre being managed on the way they impact the forested habitat.
They're also being managed on the health of the deer and the deer/human conflicts.If the forested areas are still being overbrowsed.the goal is to kill more deer,regardless of how many deer are there.
Deer health is no longer a significant factor since all but one WMU is at it's goal for herd health.And if the lack of regeneration is due to causes other than deer, the only solution is to kill more deer,except in 2F and 2G.
