BT,I'm on the wildlife management committee that set this program up.One other individual and myself actually formed this committee.This area is a ten square mile private residential development in rural clearfiled county.There has been no hunting allowed on this property in over 40 years despite the fact that there is over 3500 acres of undeveloped land.

The deer herd is huge in this immediate area so we formed a committee to try some sort of deer management program.Last year PSU brought about 60 students in to do some deer drives to actually count the deer.This year we're going to do pellet count surveys and browse impact studies to compare with the results from last year.We need to determine some type of population estimate so we can show the property owners how the deer are impacting the habitat.These deer need to be hunted but there's alot of resitance.

I hope you can make it up.I never met Kip Adams but I'm looking forward to asking him some detailed questions.Dave jackson is a friend of mine.We've been working together on this project for over a year.He has alot of good information.
