Mike,every figure that I posted cane directly fron the pgc website.I'd post the exact link but I'm computer illiterate.About the only thing I can do is a google search.The density goals are on the website but you have to click on a side bar to find them.I would be more than happy to fax them to anyone.The harvest report claiming there was an 8 percent decrease in 2001,can be found on pgc release 22-02.It was from march 15,2002.*

BTBOWHUNTER is 100% correct about the insurance industry not being involved.Deer collissions are very predictable,allowing the companies to adjust their premiums to still make a profit.The cost simply gets passed back to the consumer.I've been in the insurance industry since I graduated from college in 1991.I hear about lowering exposure on different risks every day.Not once has the subject of deer ever come up.It's all about timber fellas.All my links about forest certification are in my desk at my office.I'll try and post the addresses next week.It's very obvious once you do the research.The audubon was one of the biggest contibuters to the studies being done.The other parties have remained anonymous.
