I strongly disagree with your opinion of the habitat in those areas. While you may be able to find areas of over browsing ,the carrying capacity of the habitat is still much higher than the current DDs in those areas. You apparently are claiming that the habitat is controlling the herd ,when in fact it is harvests that exceeded recruitment that reduced the herd. If the habitat was as bad as you and others claim ,multiflora rose would be over taking the abandoned fields in those areas.
