Whatever deer are left will benefit from the increased food and if it's logged they will benefit from the increased cover. Have you ever seen the black and white pictures of the meat poles from the early 1900's with all of those big bucks they used to kill. That's because the whole country east of the Mississippi river had been clear cut and was starting to regrow and they had unlimited food and because the deer numbers were so low. You couldn't produce that number of big bucks today cause there are way more hunters now than then but with low DD and ample food quality deer can be produced. You just have to hunt a little harder for them.
Look at the quality of the deer in eastern OH compared to western PA. There is a big difference because of deer density, even though they have similar habitats, OH has half the deer. In western PA damage to the native habitat is probably happening at the high levels of that they hold and those deer need reduced. In the mtns there will never be the quality or the quantity of farmland deer. The only way to increase the quality and quantity of the mtn. deer is through large scale timber cutting and clear cutting, and I'm sure that the hunters wouldn't approve of that.
