You could have provided some useful information , but like RSB you chose to alienate another PA hunter. The simple fact is that the herd should not be managed based on the extremes in our winter weather. No one could predict the ice storm that decimated the population in several NC counties in the late 70's.. Those deer didn't die due to lack of browse , they died because they couldn't get to the browse. The same is true when there is 3 or 4 ft. of snow cover. It is not that there isn't enough food for the deer, it is that the deer can not access that food.
