As for QDMA and Rosenberry managing Chesapeake farms for 200 DPFSM . With 23% forest, that actually means that of the 3300 acres, 759 acres or 1.18 square miles is forest. So if they're managing for 200 DPFSM that means their target number is 237 deer for the total 3300 acres (or 5.15 SM) That translates to 43 deer per square mile. Yes thats far more that any statewide goal but this is a property being managed for deer with the landowners agreement. Any Pennsylvanian has the ability and right to buy or lease his own land, form a cooperative or a club and do the same thing. Thats not a conflict in mamagement style. It's working with the realities of managing a private area with deer as the primary goal versus managing a whole state where many other interests and forces are present.
