[QUOTE]This post insinuates that the maximum dpsm is 30. That is simply not true. You're saying stress cant be a factor bc we only have 30 dpsm. You're wrong. [/QUOTE
My post did not insinuate that the max. was 30 DPSM. Everyone that has even the most basic understanding of deer management knows that the 30 DPSM number is the average for the WMU and that some areas will have a lot more and others will have a lot less. The bottom line is that only a very small percentage of the state have over 30 DPSM and those are areas where limited hunter access has allowed the herd to increase and prevented hunters from controlling the herd. Therefore, if the deer are stressed in these areas it is due to factors beyond the control of the PGC, as in VF.
