Default RE: Whats wrong with the gamelands?

The other pictures were of another shelterwood cut that was unfenced.It's coming back now because the dd is very low there.I
How do you know the DD was very low in that area? Did you do a pellet count or was the areas part of a FLIR survey? If not you are just guessing and really have no idea why that area regenerated . The fact is many areas have better regeneration with much higher DDs than other areas with lower deer DDs that also have lower regeneration. WMU 2F and 2G are a prime example. WMU 2F produced a harvest of 6,67 DPSM with 39% regeneration while 2G only produced a harvest of 3.84 DPSM, but regeneration decreased from 42% to 38%.Also 3A produced a harvest of 7.69 DPSM with a regeneration rate of 61 %. Therefore, there obviously is a direct correlation between DD and regeneration because there are numerous other variables that determine the rate of regeneration.
