Wrong again!! The PGC admitted that the harvest rates in the doe mortality study may not represent the true harvest rates. Furthermore, the buck harvest rate correlates directly to the estimated deer density in that WMU. The simple fact is that once the herd is reduced to 8 DPSM it can only support a harvest of less than 4 DPSM when the area is 90% forested.

That is pure nonsense . A regeneration crash may occur when populations are at the MSY carrying capacity of the habitat. They do not occur when the herd is being reduced.

Manage the herd based on the true carrying capacity of the habitat and let landowners that have a problem with deer damage manage their herd with DMAP tags, red tags and killing deer for crop damage.
