The herd crashed in 2G because the harvests have exceeded recruitment reducing the herd from 15DPSM in 2000, to 8 DPSM in 2007. Cutting the herd in half results in twice as much food for the remaining deer.
I cant believe that anyone is even questioning that statement! If you have the same amount of food as previously with half the deer, you have DOUBLE the food per deer! And if you add in the fact that at least SOME habitat improvement is claimed to have taken place since 2000 in 2G, then you have even more than double the food you had previously per deer!!!
I Dont know why you would ever make the belowstatement RSB, maybe just didnt give it much thought before posting, but I assure you, you are wrong.
There is not twice as much food per deer or anything close to it.
