Only a fool would believe that TL property owners plant dozens of shrubs every year for the deer to eat. Is that what you do? If so you are dumber than a stump.
BTW, do you have any idea what percentage of a deers winter diet is comprised of dead leaves? Do you know the composition of a deers spring and summer diet?
How many does PSM of suitable habitat,were harvested in TL in 2007 and 2008?

Where did anyone say that TL property owners plant dozens of shrubs every year FOR THE DEER TO EAT??
I see where it was said that the vast majority of houses have dozens of shrubs. Once again, your serious lack of reading comprehension is exceded only by the incredible amount of inaccurate posts.

As I recall , Doug said that TL property owners plant dozens of shrubs very year because the deer killed the original shrubs by over browsing. If the property owners continue to plant shrubs that deer browse, then they are planting shrubs for the deer to eat. It is just that simple!!!
Or maybe they plant the shrubs because they like the way they look, smell, spruce up the yard, give curb appeal, etc, etc, etc,........... Where was it stated that the property owners are CONTINUING TO REPLANT the shrubs that are eaten? Remember, reading comprehension 101. Not as simple ,simple, is it?

Must be those two questions I asked are too tough for you to answer. Reading comprehension! Let's try again, please qoute the poster that said that land owners are planting shrubs year after year, only to be eaten by deer year after year. Unless your counting you saying it, no one said it.
Tl is unique in that the deer have 1700-1800 homes with lanscaping that gets replaced every year.

Doug as I recall in the past you stated deer survive mainly by grazing on the golf course now its house plants surely with that many deer and with such poor habitat for decades the deer mortality must be horrific how about posting some pictures of all the winter die off.
if the habitat were so poor why didn’t the deer herd crash decades ago and remain at a level where this poor habitat could support them years ago or is your private petting preserve an exception to the rule the same rule that you and rsb claim govern the rest of the state forest land, private land and sgl with far fewer deer than your zoos 45 to 50 dsm

As stated before, Douge Never said this.
Here's YOUR words, eat them! YOU are the only fool who made that statement. You answered your own question.
Lots of reasons. as I stated, why homeowners replant shrubs. For you to suggest that they do it solely to feed the deer is { add any adjective/adverb }. If that were the case, the home owner would simply cut some of the incredible habitat down your way and feed it to them. Or, go to the local stock yard and get the material that you put out on the buffet here.
P.S. Love crow mixed with BB mince meat.
Needs lots of salt, though. Love to keep playing, but someone has to work. I'll catch up later; shouldn't be to difficult.
