No one said it was.It doesn't matter though,the area inside the fence regenerated because it wasn't being browsed.The outside did not fail because of soil,competing vegitation,lack of light or acid rain.It failed because the deer browsed it all.That's what happens when you have poor habitat in the surrounding area.
