never said that you couldn’t have a healthy herd if you didn’t have a healthy forest. That comment of your is just more of your attempt to discredit by misrepresentation of what others have said and a direct testament to lack of lack of ready comprehension.
You have consistently said that the areas that are currently supporting high DDs can't support that density over the long term because the deer are over browsing the forest habitat,when in fact the deer in farmlands are not dependent on forested habitat for their long term survival.
In fact just within the past couple of days I pointed out, in response to one of your posts, that the deer in unit 5C had relatively high productive rates (that equates to good heard health) even while they had poor forest health because of all the farmland, neighborhood shrubs and other personally landscaping plants or gardens to keep their health good.
But you also stated that the current high DD were not sustainable because of the poor forest health , when in fact the herd health had nothing to do with the forest health.
