Easy BT.The habitat was so degraded in 2G,that it took very few deer to continue impacting it.Many places,especially 2g needed alot less deer than the MSY.You have shown nothing to prove that the forest certification had anything to do with statewide herd reductions.Once again,the certified forests are such a small percentage of Pa that they had no impact on the total plan.
That is pure nonsense. The habitat had no problem recovering in 1983 when 72% of the cuts regenerated successfully. Compare that to the current regeneration rate of 42% with half as many DPSM. Furthermore, it is well known DCNR blackmailed the PGC with with holding support for the transfer of additional lands to SGLs.
the state forests are being managed at a much lower dd than the game lands which proves that forest certification had nothing to do with staewide herd reduction.
That simply is not true and you don't have one iota of evidence to support that claim. The DMAP harvests are insignificant compared to the WMU wide harvests.
