Default RE: Pa Game Comm. Overhaul
The solution to the problem most certainly would not to harvest fewer deer in an area where the deer herd is already naturally reducing its own numbers. If the deer herd is reducing its own numbers of it nature is reducing the herd through natural causes it obviously because the area can’t support more deer under the present natural conditions.


Now hold on. The PGC listed 2G as fair herd health in the '07 wildlife report, based on 1.58 embryos per adult doe age 2/3 years. Why would they list herd health as fair if nature is trying to reduce the herd? Also, we as humans are predators. If nature through predation is controlling the herd and continuing to reduce it, then you are saying, we also should reduce it further? what are average DD up there now, 8,9 dpsm? And still declining naturally, as you stated? And you are saying that we should continue to prey on them? And herd health was listed as fair? Are you serious? Please tell me you are joking here. Not to mention I thought the PGC had moved to herd increase mode in 2G as of last year. Are you going against you own biologists and reccomending further reduction? Are you disagreeing with the plan? Unbelievable!
