Yes,doubling the food supply would put the deer herd in line with the habitat.You do need some more sleep.Yep,the
The deer were in line with the habitat when there was twice as many deer in 2G as there are today. What we have today is an over abundance of food and a lack of abundance of deer. The MSY CC of northern hardwoods is 40 DPSM not 8 DPSM.
Obviously the deer themselves disagree with how many deer you think there should be. If they agreed with you their numbers wouldn’t have been on nearly a stead decline over the past twenty years or have crashed following a couple of hard winters.
