RE: Predators and deer
ORIGINAL: explorer_Jack If you could have access to 90% of 2B to hunt. I promise you,With 59,000 doe tags handed out, That area would be like 2G. If there is so many deer in 2B,How can the habitat not be bad there when you have more deer than any other WMUs? At allowing over 60,000 doe tags for that WMU alone should tell you something. Do they have magic plants that regenerate after eating so fast that the deer population can not do enough damage to their habitat. Think about it for a moment. 60,000 tags and the habitat is in excellent condition. Hows that possible if there is that many deer that they can give out 60,000 tags a year for that WMU? |

Access is the big issue in 2B without a doubt. The habitat is also excellent simply because the whitetail is a creature of the edge and is so adaptable.Much of 2B is suburban, and there are a lot of reverting and working farms. All of those tend to grow a lot more food than a stand of timber |
RE: Predators and deer
if anyone gets to hyner,pa. my friend has deer he is raising.
i think around 11. his fenced in area is no bigger than about 1 acre. his deer are all fat and sassy. funny how person can raise 11 deer in 1 acre and we cant keep 1 deer alive in 1 mile. |

RE: Predators and deer
Hunting in 2F is terrific because we now have reasonable numbers of good size healthy deer instead of ridiculous numbers of itty bitty deer, the habitat is recovering and the size and quality of the deer is better, both bucks and does. Doesn't sound like failure to me:D. Dont feel too bad though. You got the part about the hunting being terrific!
2B is terrific simply because the food is abundant and access is available for those willing to put in some time.Sanctuary areas have as much to do with bucks getting to older ages as AR does but AR is still valuable here. The PGC HR plan for 2B is only moderately successful simply becausethey cant control all the factors invloved in managing a habitat with a very high human population. |

Reverting farms,reclaimed strip mines,lawns, hay fields and power line right of way are assigned no habitat value by the PGC. The PGC goal for 2B was 13 DPSM and in 2005 it had 36 DPSM and the PGC said the herd was still increasing. |
