"That works out to 42 deer per forested(winter food) per square mile. "

Actually it doesnt, and how about we keep within the realm of reality shall we ecoextremist?. You are cutting out most of what makes the unit such good habitat. When you use that evaluation it takes ZERO account of edge habitat, grown up fields, pasture, and just about everything else that makes farm country and reverting farm country so good in the first place. We arent talking tons of urban sprawl, you are cutting out ahuge portion of this wmu where deerfeed and hunters hunt. But I guess that creative anglecomes in handy when there is nothing else to support your position though doesnt it?

That also isnt very meaningful if you would quit intentionally ignoring the fact that the goal IS and HAS BEEN FOR YEARS S-T-A-B-I-L-I-Z-A-T-I-O-N.

And its not only a huge 2A problem that the goal isnt being adhered to, its the majority of the states wmus that had goals of stabilization yet have had furtherreduction since that claim. That can be seen on the deer density change chart on the 2007/08 annual report.
