Gentlemen - I agree with the mismanagement of the PA deer herd. Cannot say for sure about the timber industry. If they are complaining about the deer populations they don't have a leg to stand on. The state forests througout NC PA have acres of trees dieing of old age. Why don't they do selective harvest in these areas? Probably because it will open up the canopy to allow for new growth with will draw more deer..... its a double edged sword.
