Or that a man with a doctorate in wildlife biology who'd spent his life in the woods, simply hadn't noticed the browse lines until someone pointed it out to him. Classic.
Nothing surprises me. I once took one of the habitat gurus on HPA to a farm in northern Potter that I hunt. I showed him a pasture that had cows hemmed up in it for 6 years prior to the day/year I showed it to him.
"My God, look at that browseline along that pasture that the deer made" was his reply. I didn't have the heart to tell him about the cows.
