While that is true, those non-preferred browse species still provide enough nutrients to support 40 DPSM.

So if NPBS are overbrowsed...what does that tell you about your "MSY"?

It tells me that if an over browsed forest of beech, birch and striped maple can support 40 DPSM , a healthy forest with preferred browse species can support even more deer.

So you would advocate total decimation of preferred browse on a sustained basis?

For how long is that subjective part you deny exists.

I have no idea what that means? Do you know the meaning of the word sustainable?

I know what your definition is:
"Sustained depletion of ecological resources"

No, you do not know what my definition might be and trying to misrepresent my position accomplishes nothing. Everyone knows I am not suggesting the herd be managed at 40 DPSM resulting in serious over browsing. But what I am doing is showing that when the PGC claims to be reducing the herd to less than 15 DPSM to improve herd health, they are being intentionally misleading and deceitful, just as those that claim the habitat is controlling the herd are being misleading.

Would it not be honest of you to say what you mean without playing mind games and riddles?
Are you going to answer Bob's question?

I answered once already. Do I need to repeat it.
