RE: PA DEER AUDIT UPDATE.....
Yep QDMA sure does emphasize harvesting doe's and they also emphasize balancing the herd with the habitat, but their idea of balancing the herd with the habitat is 50% of Max carrying cap. Im sure you rember the QDMA article I posted on HuntingPA.com numerous times? (wish I could locate it)
Remember it suggested that Max carrying cap. for the state of MI. was like 58 deer per square mile but they should manage their herd at 50% of max which is 28.9 deer per square mile. I have never once seen any person employed by or associated with QDMA suggest anything lower than 50% of max. Pike
