ORIGINAL: White-tail-deer

Let's stick to 2B, 5B & 5C for now. So possibly there is more to the deer density goals than simply carrying capacity for each WMU. 2B, 5B & 5C would have major problems with deer if the deer density goals were higher and tag allotments were less.
For the record, I don't think they ever came close to reducing the herd to those goals in 5B. The only places where it could be anywhere near that low would be the SGL and a few other public areas. I would estimate it based on only my own observations in the 20-25 range as an average. Certainly huntable, but is further reduction really warranted? The number of roadkills I've seen has really declined in the last few years, and I don't know of any active red tag farms in the area at this point. I would have to say that the human conflict is in an acceptable range given those indicators.
