I always found it funny that these guys in the south west part of the state think the habitat is great and deer aren't effected by habitat conditions or weather.According to the winter mortality study and the winter of 2004,mortality was pretty significant in part of the southwest.For instance,Beaver county had one of the highest mortality rates in the state with 3 dead deer per mile.Somerset county had the highest with 3.26 deer per mile.Alleghany had.98.green county had .56 deer per miles which was much higher than we had in Clearfield county.
