No one has ever known how many deer there were in any state at any given time in history and if they did it would be changed within about five minutes anyway.
It isn’t even important to know how many deer you have when the deer and their food supply are telling you if there are the right amount, too many deer or if the food supply and habitat could possibly support more deer. It is nearly as important to know how many there are is it to know when you need to harvest more, fewer or maintain a stable harvest.
The deer give you those answers when you monitor them. It makes much more sense to listen to what the deer and habitat have to say then to listen to what hunters have to say. They listen to the hunters so long we have many areas today with very low deer numbers. Listening to the deer works much better because deer don’t have anything but real facts to present while hunters present lots of opinions with almost no supporting facts.
Wise people will put more faith in listening to the deer and their food supply then the hunters.

Interesting. Now how do you go about to determine deer capacity per WMUs? You just said you listen to the deer but yet do you all really do? Do you observe every deer at every SQM and habitat? Get real now on the procedures your trying to sell the people. Lets look at the worse habitat in 2G and dictate that for all of 2G. Great work there buddy. What a moron.

It would appear that we have the USP's public relations officer on board here now, exhibiting the level of intelligence and class that the organization is known for.

If you go back to the previous page and read those links, I already provided your questions will be answered, at least they will be provided you could read beyond the comprehension level of a moron. Ah, buddy?

Maybe you should read this and check the facts again. Anyone else see the lies in this?
DEER HEALTH, FOREST HABITAT HEALTH, DEER HARVESTS, AND DEER POPULATION TRENDS BY WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT UNIT (Job 21001 PDF)
Abstract: We monitored Wildlife Management Unit (WMU) deer health, forest habitat health, and deer population trends using reproductive parameters from road-killed does, advanced tree seedling and sapling regeneration (ATSSR) from the Pennsylvania Regeneration Study, deer harvest estimates and compositions, and field studies. During the summer and fall of 2007, epizootic hemorrhagic disease, or EHD, was detected in deer in southwestern Pennsylvania. WMU 2A had the greatest number of reported deer deaths during the outbreak. Because the Game Commission uses information from hunters to assess deer population status, we conducted a survey to learn more about the affect of this EHD outbreak on deer hunting in WMU 2A. Deer health was judged to be “above target” in 2 WMUs, “at target” in 19 WMUs, “below target” in 1 WMU. Forest habitat health was judged to be good in 2 WMUs, fair in 15
WMUs, and poor in 4 WMUs. Hunters harvested 323,070 deer (109,200 antlered and 213,870
antlerless) in the 2007-08 deer seasons. Deer populations in most WMUs remained stable. Antlerless allocations were designed to reduce the population in 3 urban/suburban WMUs, increase the population in 3 WMUs, and keep the population steady in all remaining WMUs. We recommend the continuation of current regulations to monitor deer populations, and modification of antlerless allocations to change the antlerless deer harvests.
