RE: Deer Stocking?????
First of all,Valley forge is a federal park and it would take an act of congress to initiate any type of hunting.Second,trapping and relocating deer is completely impractical.It's extremely expensive and there's a very high mortality rate.besides,the herd has been reduced in pa for a reason.We used to have way too mnay deer.I live in the WMU that has the most overbrowsed habitat in the state and the lowest deer densities.There's no reason to feel sorry for me because the hunting is still excellent on public land if you hunt where the deer should be and not where you want them to be.Stocking a species that re3produces like mink is a huge waste of resources and a very bad idea.
