Gee I wish you'd have posted the entire article in your last post, instead of an out of context snipett. That's why I've made the link above, once again, available for everyone to read. The first two lines, as well as many mentions throughout the article make it very clear, at least to some, that they are talking about METROPOLITAN AREAS.

Taken in context with the rest of the article and the forested areas around NJ, as they mention, they are referencing Metropolitan NY city region, which involves numerous counties, two states, spread with thousands of acres of forested state and national lands, all threatened by the urban sprawl that is compounding the issue. Perhaps your not familiar with the lingo up this way. Look up Dr.Divito's more in depth talk about the subject. I believe the Times article made it past editing when the word " City " was left out of " New york Region ". Up here, we're familiar with the phrase. Frankly I would agree with them on other METRPOLITAN areas of the state, such as Pennfield, Amherst, Albany, etc. All Metropolitan, and definitely in need of herd reduction.

Rest assured, we, the sportsman in NYS won't allow this to be taken out of context by our game managers, as some of those experiencing the issue already are doing.
