if the DCNR wants a healthy forest then ehy don't they timber their darn forests. a healthy forest is a growing forest, a "old growth forest" is a dying forest . when do deer prosper the most... in a regenerating forest the DCNR says they can't timber more cause the forests will be eaten by the deer before they have a chance to be established again. BS twhen Pa was timbered flat within 15 yrs there were so many deer Pa was the "deer capital of the world" all that time trees were regenerating and todays forest are them
