I'm sure that no one including Gary Alt would want a owdd of 5 dpsm anywhere in Illinois
Like dead deer pointed out, The reason DR. Alt gave York such a low DD. goal isnt because its urban, Its because York Co. is only 27% forested (mostly farmland) and Alt doesnt consider farmland to be deer habitat. So, if Alt was in charge of the IL. Deer Program you would see similar if not lower DD. goals in IL. because from what I hear from my friends who hunt in Pike Co. every year, Pike Co. IL. is less forested than York Co. PA.,Pike
