Default Finally

At long last we finally have an outdoor writer that understands the problem with the current DMP. Here is a quote from an article by Walt Young.

This is only the tip of the iceberg with respect to the terribly complex issue that is deer management in Pennsylvania. The main thing the Game Commission needs to do is get away from the forest regeneration model for managing deer numbers and start quantifying things for us hunters. And more hunters need a better grasp of the facts and reasonable science rather than dealing in emotion and opinions.

The data provided in the audit showed that reducing the herd in 2G by over 50% resulted in a decrease in regeneration rather than the expected increase. How can the PGC possibly manage the herd based on such questionable criteria?
