In the P.O.News about the forest here in Pa. Guy from DCNR saying evasive plants and the deer are still the problem. Scuse me but didn't the hunters just whack the crap out of the herd and the regeneration is still bad. Less deer your habitat should be flourishing after 10 yrs of this type of hunting I would gesture.

Invasive species are a real problem inhibiting regeneration but the root of that problem is too many deer.Deer are picky eaters.They clean up the prefered species first, alowing the less desirable species to take over.Once this happens,it's tough to get desirable species.In fact,it takes even less deer to impact the habitat.

"Invasive species are a real problem inhibiting regeneration but the root of that problem is too many deer."
Yet thats still an unproven theory and its just as accurate to say the root of the problem is invasives, acid deposition, etc and "deer" are a contributor.

thought this thread would be one of truth and not smoke blowers. truth is OUR forrests are rated on the ability to sell our lumber overseas for veneer wood, which takes a grade -A rating from an auditing firm in california. this falls under the jurisdiction froM the COMMERCE DEPT. FOR ALL OF THIS TO TAKE PLACE AND THE LUMBER TO BE EXPORTED. NOW, THEY RELEASED AN AUDIT LIKE TEN YEARS AGO WITH HUNDREDS OF PAGES AND VARIOUS STIPULATIONS TO BE FOLLOWED, SOME OF WHICH ARE :FENCING CLEARCUTS TO KEEP DEER OUT (MAJOR KICKBACKS HERE TO FENCE PRODUCING COMPANIES AND THE BUSINESSES THAT INSTALL THEM). ; ONLY LIKE 4 DEER PER SQUARE MILES OF FORREST LAND( DOESN'T APPLY TO PRIVATE LANDHOLDERS) ; MAINTAINING CURRENT DOE LICENSES LEVELS AND INCREASING HARVEST BY ESTABLISHING SPECIAL ZONES FOR KILLING MORE(DMAP AREAS DONT COUNT TORWARDS STANDARD ALLOCATIONS) ; AN ALL OUT WAR ON PORCUPINES (THEY CHEW THE BARK ON THE BASE OF TREES AND THAT LETS IN DISEASE, EVIDENT BY PA.GAME COMMISSION RULE CHANGE ON KILLING THEM) ; AND THIS IS JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG. THEY KNOW THAT THE MAJORITY OF HUNTERS ARE IGNORANT OF THIS REPORT AND WONT TAKE THE TIME OR EFFORT TO READ IT, AND THIS AUDIT HAS TO TAKE PLACE LIKE EVERY 10 YEARS. NOW, IF YOU THINK THAT I'M THE ONE THATS SMOKE BLOWING, JUST ASK YOUR STATE REP OR SENATOR IF HE'S READ THE AUDIT REPORT??? CHANCES ARE HE /SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW OR CARE ABOUT IT, THEY JUST SPEND THE MONEY GENERATED. CHECK IT OUT FOR YOURSELF, YOU'LL BE AMAZED AT WHAT YOU FIND/READ!!! AND PEOPLE THINK IT HAS TO DO WITH CAR INSURANCE COMPANIES AND THE 6 $ DOE LISENCE, THIS CLASS A RATED TRIPLES THE $$$ THE STATE WAS GETTING BEFORE. NOW THAT I SAID THIS, I'LL BE EXPECTING AN AUDIT OF MY OWN, WHEN I FILE MY STATE INCOME TAX!!!!! CHECK IT OUT !!!!
