Furthermore, DMAP tags would have little if any impact if the herd in the surrounding areas hadn't been reduced. The simple fact is that DCNRs desire to get their forests recertified resulted in the statewide herd being reduced by at least 40%.
The state forests are absolutely positively being managed at lower deer densities.Only a clown would deny that.They're saturated with thousands of extra tags and in many cases,longer seasons.Why do you think the dmap'd areas can still have a two week doe season in the WMU's that have a shortened doe season?Because DCNR wants less deer.You're so hell bent on complaining all the time that you often lose all reasoning and common sense.
I haven't even applied for a 2G tag in the past few years.Why?because I can get dmap tags to use on the state forests.Other people think the same way because they sell out very awefully fast around here.
