Once again you demonstrate your total ignorance of the history of our herd in the NC counties. The herd peaked at 40 DPSM by 1975. It then crashed in 78-79 due to abnormally severe winters and by 1980 the herd was at its goal in most counties. Then, despite 30 years of over browsing the habitat was sufficient to allow the herd to increase during the 80's, but the high doe harvests reduced the herd in 2G to 15 DPSM in 2000.

So despite your propaganda , the fact is 2G has not been subject to high DDs from the 70s as you claimed. The fact is that 2G has been at or below its goal for ten years , but forest health is still rated poor by the PGC despite your claims to the contrary.
