You can see that wisconsin also has better wmu structure than Pa...With HUNDREDS of them:

They also have 1.7 million deer estimate for 2008. Compare to Pas fraction of that, which remains unknown because we arent allowed to know orspeak of the estimate!
Are tree huggers pushing for less deer in other states? Well I wouldnt imagine Pennsylvania is the only one in that regard. That would be naive to think that the case. I do know that many states ignore them, perhaps not all. But many states dont take their herds to rock bottom minimums at their request.
