RE: Deer management in PA
sniper,the DCNR uses the excuse of "save our forests" when it comes to deer management when in reality it's to make room for the elk and tourism.It would be interesting to see what excuse the PGC would use to kill all the deer on the SGL'S with an added fee toward habitat improvement.
Yeah they put some food plots in but the ones I saw lack the nutients to grow.They can blame the deer until the cows come home but the bottom line is oaks need sunlight and some space to grow.If the soil is right and they have the sunlight oaks will grow.
The irony of this whole thing is that the original complaints were about the maples taking over the forests.Well deer browse the maples so what's reducing them going to do?Allow alot more maples to grow!
This whole fiasco is a scam straight from the tree huggers and some hunters are actually falling for it.
