The reason 2G has such a high herd health index is because the sample nearly all comes from the soil and crop rich farm land of southern Clinton County where there are plenty of highways that results in highway killed deer. Up in the mountainous areas of unit 2G there aren’t many roads and darn few highway killed deer to sample
That's a riot! southern Clinton has the best soil in the state!...Forget about the lower Susquehanna valley southern York and Lancaster counties...or the western tier that actually was put under a four point restriction specifically due to better soils/ habitat producing larger bucks on average. Nope, boys.....according to RSB, southern Clinton co is the heartland, the breadbasket of PA....Obviously as they have the higher productivity, and it offsets the entire rest of the WMU and surpasses all the other regions I mentioned. Maybe we should allow a significant herd increase in southern 2G?
