I don’t have much time today or this evening to be on this or any other site.

This is what I could find real quick that does a pretty fair job of explaining the scientific methods involved in doing the habitat plot surveys and the browse impact studies. It is all done scientifically.

This link also has a link that will take you to the KQDA studies and there is also some good information there as well.

I believe these the same methods used in the studies done by the Game Commission and the U.S. forest Service.

When I get time I will try dig up the methods from the Game Commission resources.

Though some people don’t like the results the studies are showing I think it absolutely fool hardy to ignore what these studies are showing.
