Once again,I don't consider a 70 acre clearcut to be small.
And it doesn't matter one bit whether or not you consider a 70A clearcut to be large or small. What matters is how many deer will it take to negatively effect regeneration of preferred species in a 70 acre clearcut. Even at 8 or 9 OWDPSM , plus the effects of DMAP, in 2G they still have fence cuts in order to get oak regeneration.Furthermore, DCNR says any increase in the herd will wipe out the small gains that have been made.
