Once again you are basing way too much of your opinion on what you read in some report that suited your opinion instead of the realities of what actually occurs in nature. You need to get some practical experience in the realities of nature instead of just spouting out of context snippets from reports and journals.
It is increasing obvious that you quite simply have no idea what the realities of nature are.
I have seen the dead deer that tried living at far fewer then 40 over winter deer per square mile even when they had better browse then beech, birch and striped maple, so in know first hand that any report you read that nonsense in is full of bologna unless they were only evaluating the ability of those deer to survive during one winter of limited snow conditions before they were removed to better habitat or fewer deer.
Provide the link to the complete study where you are getting your opinion so we can see how far out of context your comments really are.
