That really doesn't make sense when you consider the goals for 2F were 17 DPSM and 2G was 15 DPSM.
Exactly my point. They needed to make 5c and 5b goals as low as they did (in some cases lower than other WMUs) to justify the low goals of the other WMUs they did plan on achieving.

The open space in VF does not provide any browse. The PGC will tell you that deer are browsers not grazers , so the PGC doesn't assign any habitat value to open space.
Again, take it from someone that has spent countless hours in that park the open space is a food source. Not a very nutritious one due to the obvious malnutrition of the deer, but a food source nonetheless. If the PGC wants to say it isn't, they better not tell that to the 1,000s of deer that you see in the open space every night. Don't buy everything the PGC says.
