Smaller WMUs are not the answer. The answer is managing the herd based on the true carrying capacity of the habitat rather than the regeneration of commercially valuable trees. The MSY carrying capacity of northern hardwoods is over 40 DPSM. Even if the herd was managed at half that level ,hunting in 2F and 2G would be much better than it is now.
bluebird,that is question too.
how do we know how many deer can a dpsm hold in clinton county.
we had no acorns this year.
i was out in woods filling feeders sat, you can see long ways in woods , there is no browse.
i cant believe i am saying that but you know i tell truth of what i see.
i then see fields that could have deer feed planted for deer too.
but even with lack of browse, how do we know how many deer should be in that dpsm.
