When you measure the health of the deer (the productive rates of adult does and the breeding rates for the juvenile does) you are measuring all of the habitat those deer live on, farm land, forest land or any where they feed. Therefore your claim that all habitat isn’t measured is incorrect and misleading at the least.
Thank you for admitting that the habitat in 2F is worse than the habitat in 2G since the doe in 2F produce 1.34 embryos/doe while in 2G the doe produce 1.66 embryos /doe. So forest health and herd health in 2F are both worse than in 2G yet the PGC is managing the herd in 2F at almost twice that of 2G . Thanks for proving I am right and you are ,WRONG AGAIN!
No one said the food supply wasn’t worse per individual deer in unit 2F, it very well could be. In fact, both the deer and habitat indicate that is probably true.
That still doesn’t negate the fact that the over all habitat in unit 2F can and has been able to support more deer per square mile then unit 2G.
Just because you don’t like or understand the facts doesn’t make them any less fact.
