Another classic Deaddeer, deerfly,beenther,bluebird2, ddear, Larry darryl and darryl distortion. I challenge you to produce a link quoting a few of your "numerous experts" claiming exactly what the habitat in PA vcan support. Oh and comparing 5C to the rest of the state is bogus too. When the 6 DPSM goal was released (no longer being used BTW) it very clearly stated that this was a goal based on human/deer conflict in an SRA urban WMU

If the habitat in mixed farmland and woods in NY can support 35-40 DPSM, why wouldn't similar habitat in PA support at least as many deer? Furthermore you are flat out wrong about the 6 DPSM goal for 5 C. The for 5 C was that low because 5C is only 33.7% forested and the PGC only considers forested habitat when establishing DD goals. The goal in 5B was 5 DPSM because 5B is only 27% forested. When the PGC switched from DPFSM to DPSM they did not establish the new goals based on deer human conflict.
