"here in the SW we seen what overpopulation and disease can do."
Actually "WE" did not. Theehd wiped out many deer last year. This was AFTER pgc had supposedly begun STABILIZINGthe deer herd for 3 years prior to that, because they believed the deer herd was at their desired level... Therefore your nonsense is completely false and unsubstantiated even by the clowns at pgc! 
Funny thing is, when the herd MIGHT have been a bit abovedesirable level in thisarea back in the 90's...THERE WAS NO EHD!
Maybe you simply don't understand how EHD works. EHD outbreaks generally occur in warmer climates. PA has had only two significant outbreaks in recent history. EHD outbreaks are generally worse where deer densities are high.
So Corny, try and follow this.... EHD requires hotter temps than we normally have in PA and high deer densities make outbreaks worse in spotty areas. EHD doesnt come to an area because of high deer densities. When it does come, an unusual event in PA, areas with too many deer are especially vulnerable. Had the outbreak in the SW occurred a few years ago, it simply could have been far worse.
