No there was no need to change the management plan in the state and here is a quote from the PGC website that suppports my position.
It also is clear that Pennsylvania can “support” the number of deer presently found in the state, because there is little evidence of substantial winter deer losses.
Furthermore ,there was no need for AR since in 2002 we harvested 52.6K 2.5+ buck and none of them were saved by AR. Also, 91 % of our adult doe were bred and the productivity of our herd was 50% of the preseason herd ,which means the herd was very healthy.
Here is what Dr. Rosenberry,PGC, had to say about our previous buck harvests.
Historically, every year hunters have harvested approximately 75 percent of all bucks in Pennsylvania, and about 80-85 percent of the buck harvest has been yearlings.
From these results, we can conclude that Pennsylvania's deer population contains enough bucks to breed does in a relatively short time period. Most adult does are being bred around November, with fawn breeding extending through December into February.
