" There absolutely,positively were severe problems with the habitat that are univerally accepted by every expert out there.None of that was manufatured. "
Its also universally accepted that there are other reasons for it, including but not limited to deer.
That also doesnt pertain to statewide conditions by any stretch of the imagination, yet they try to stretch out real problems in some areas to include other areas by pointing out pure nonsense problems such as not enough hobblebush, or trillium existing, regen. stocking not being conducive to completely even age timber stand and other complete nonsense. Problem of being able to see over a hundred yards in MATURE timber because of not having fully stocked shrub layer on every inch of Pa mature timber!...
The changes in already extreme assessment methods that got even moreso, and sent wmus from 60%+ regeneration ratings....Down to 30's with a simple change in the wording... And now according to that data, after 10 long years, and significant reductions....the audit says instead of progressing, we actually REGRESSED a tiny bit!! Due most likely to the change in assment method mentioned above.
Too much complete and utter bs. Maybe if it all werent so ridiculous and the lies so blatant, the exaggerations so hard to believe... Maybe some of what they have to say would actually be believed. Im sure there probably is a smidge of truth here and there that some may pass off as total fallacy simply because of all the things we KNOW are pure garbage that theyve been trying to force feed us.
