RE: DEER Population ,SHOCKER
Would you agree that, DCNR, with many more biologists, forests and people on the ground to evaluate what is happening in the woods does have a clue?
Is this the reason Susan stouts made the comment that she was only seeing about 25% of the forest regenerating in desired species.
This deer removal machine started in 2000 with the Alt and Grund deer model this same model now is claimed of having some errors with data results supplied in past years.2000 the forest was claimed to be only regenerating at a rate of 20% desired species.One dry summer and congratulations folks after eliminating all these deer we could be below the 2000 20% regeneration rate.The gain for NC pa was?

Absolutly nothing illegal and possible I am mis-stating what he is telling me. I amto undestand that a farmer (in many statesincluding PA) can apply for a Deer Damage Control permit that allows that farmerto specify a # of animals to takeby legal means if the animals are effecting the crops - I think in PA it is the link program? Sopossibly byseveral methods you can take 4 deeron lands designatedsoley for damage control - I also knowthe lands are not open topublic hunting and this is onlyby special permission.

In Pa,farmers can kill all they want as long as they live off of the farm.They can aslo enroll in the red tag program to get depredation permits for off-season hunting.On top of that,they can enroll in dmap and get 1 extra doe tag per 5 acres of agriculture land but each person can only get two dmap permits per hunter per property.I don't know of any program where they can get 4 extra tags per person.

400 miles puts you half way between Harrisburg and Pittsburgh. Alot of good hunting much closer to home.
Difficult to make a living off of farming with deer cutting into your crops. Difficult to make a living even with out the deer. Land prices are booming. 160 acre farm I have hunted sold for 6.5 million. Makes for a nice retirement or payment on another farm in another area/state.
And there is no reason on earth I should have to be forced drive 400 miles to hunt when the ara I live could hold lots of deer.
