What you fail to realize is that artificially increasing the capacity,beyond what the habitat should be able to support is not helping the future of anything.We have thousands and thouands of acres of state land in this part of Pa.It's simply not possible to expect anyone,including the PGC to artificially feed these deer.Food plots in this part of the state are OK for several months of theyear but they do nothing for the deer during periods of deep snow,like this past year.Deer need browse,it's as simple as that.In fact,each deer needs several pounds a day tomake it through winter.I'll send someone an sd card next week so you can see what carrying too many deer for the habitat will do.
