We used to have some pretty impressive browselines here in PA. Then the PGC greatly reduced the deer herd in this state by selling many more doe tags and increasing the length of doe season. It's worked and our forests are regenerating. It's a mistake for any state agency to maintain a deer herd larger than what the habitat can sustain.
