You got that right Steve.
Additionally, why is it that no one person on this site considers the health of the deer habitat and how the DEC's failure to properly manage the the deer population has just about ruined the deer habitat in the southern region.
It seems to me that the carrying capacity of the land is the driving force for any changes.
The DEC should make an honest assesmnent of the habitat and manage the deer herd for a given area accordingly. The one size fits all deer mangement policy is a recipe for disaster.
