Default RE: Forest Health Versus Habitat Health

And that, BB is exactly what is so frustrating about the whole mess. NOTHING makes a lick of sense, and there is NO method to the madness. They say it is about herd health and habitat, then when you look at the data and call them out, it becomes about regeneration, then when regeneration starts looking better, they change the criteria to make it look worse. Then they set incredibly low DD goals for each WMU, then abandon them when the hunters call them out. Then they claim stabilization mode, ony to issue more tags then previously were used to reduce the herd substantially. If there was one solitary ounce of science being utilized to govern the direction of deer mgt in PA, there would surely be a systematic, logical plan outlined with specific goals and strategies, a far cry from the chaotic, ever changing deer circus we have come to know.
