Tell the whole story now.The entire state used to be managed at 21 deer per forested square mile.Somewhere around 2003,the started managing the deer per deer per square mile.Since 5c has much less forested acreage than 2F,it stands to reason that the dd per square mile would have to be lower.Note:the deer density goals did not change,just the way they were calculated.Today,there are no dd goals.The deer atre being managed on the way they impact the forested habitat.They appantly impact the forests much mure in 5C because more deer are concentrated in smaller forested areas during winter.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.
