All that matters is that they state forests have thousands of more tags plus another week to fill them.Obviously those lands are being managed for less deer than the rest of the state.How can you even argue about that?
Of course the DMAP areas are being managed for less deer. As you pointed out ,if DCNR had their way there wouldn't be any deer on SFL. But you didn't specify you were just talking about the DMAP areas, you included all SFL.
I never dodged any question.The answer is simple.We had to many deer for too long and the habitat sudffered as a result.Other areas were not at that point because they didn't have those high deer densities for as long but they were on their way down the same path.
That does not explain why after over 80 years of over browsing in the NC counties HR became such a hot issue even though the herd in 2G was at the goal DD. It does not explain why 2F is still being managed at a much higher DD than 2G. It doesn't explain why they wanted to reduce the herd in 5C to 6 DPSM. It doesn't explain why the PGC reduced the herd below the MSY carrying capacity ,resulting in a a decline in breeding rates and productivity. In other words you simply dodged my question once again.
