Yep,like I've been saying all along,the state forests are being managed far different than the SGL's.
I doubt you'll see DCNR asking for any more coupons in the majority of places.They look at the effects of browsing,not just what kind of regeneration they're getting.At this point,the herd is low enough on more state forests in 2G that more tags won't get more deer killed.There's probably an over saturation at this point.If they don't need to fence,they won't ask for more coupons.That's an oversimplification but that's what I see them doing in district 9.
