Default RE: Alternatives to controlling deer pops

I estimate the average DPSM on these lands at 8.
If this is even really close to the deer density - Then its likely that 1/2 the current hunters in the area could keep the deer herd in check (given PA's current average hunter density of 22 hunters per square mile).

Its tough to look at averages - but I can 99.99% assure you that the State of PA - could not afford - and does not need to consider Deer Contraceptives - to manage the deer herd. That's just crazy - crazy talk!
