"You have no idea what it takes to feed a deer in the winter."

I know EXACTLY what it takes to feed a deer in winter. I also know a 1000 yard wide blackberry and multiflora rose patch will feed more deer than the same sized patch of mature or pole timber in winter, yet for some reason you dont include it in your figuring...and all because they dont include enough "saplings" per acre???? Thats nonsense. Also doesnt explain why you dont include all the aforementioned habitat in your "harvest" assessment. A helluva lot of deer ARE shot in those areas. But you claim none are? And if they are, how is it possible if its not deer habitat and they shouldnt exist there...what are they doing there? lol.

You said previously you didnt want to include walmart parking lots in your equation. Then its quite simple. You subtract the 2.7% of developed land for the wmu, and you come up with a product we should all be able to agree on. SImple as pie.

"Woody browse is the only thing you can count on at the latitude PA is located."

Nope. Id agree in a northern forest area. But not here. Not even close. Of course its very important but not as much as it is in areas with less diverse habitat. Maybe you should gut a deer or quite a few in flintlock seasons in several areas of the wmu, check the contents of the stomach, then get back to me on that. You'll find a helluva lot more than just woody browse. The predominance of other preferred food sources alone should tell you otherwise without even needing to operate.
