Let me get this strait though.What you're saying is the deer herd should be allowed to grow on state forests to the point where there's never going to be any type of understory?That's just flat out selfish and self centered.
Wrong again. The SFL should have an understory where the environmental conditions allow an understory. Do you expect to find a well developed understory in old growth forests? should SFL have a well developed understory under dense stands of hemlocks or white pine? If a stand of oaks , red maples and beech regenerates in beech and red maples stand is that the fault of the deer or mother nature?
