Gross generalization. We had way too many in a few areas.

Limited to some areas.

"and it will take years to fix."

Especially when considering by "FIX" audubon and pgc mean to conditions that never existed previously and are completely unnatural with ridiculous levels of biodiversity. (see aududon Pa website for details).

"There is absolutely no reason that a person has to see 70 plus deer in a couple days time period.It's flat out stupid and any professional wildlife manager woud agree."

I agree its unnecessary. But just as unnecessary to have the current unwarranted statewide wholesale slaughter

"Wanting.expecting and demanding too many deer is one of the greatest mistakes if this past century."

And econuts expecting and demanding too few is firmly all by itself at #1.

"I can't imagine why people need such high deer densities."

They apparently dont. Otherwise MOST would have quit by now. But its undeniable that rock bottom densities have dealt a heavy blow to satisfaction level of the states hunters. Many of us cant imagine why we need rock bottom numbers and ridiculous biodiversity when its simply a "values" issue and one that not very many people currently "value" at all. There is a happy medium here. But thanks to pgcs new age obtuse thinking and ecoflake make-up under the iron grip of dcnr and the governor, "happy medium" isnt an option currently.

But to compare 300 dpsm in some pocket of WV or whatever else the case may be....To our "needing" to have rock bottom numbers is more than a little off base Doug.
