I'm not always the sharpest pencil in the box.
 
But, how do you have a GOAL of 100%? 

Why not just say we need to re-introduce some Deer into this wasteland Zone! 

And what the H2ll is below "social acceptance"?  They use to say things like "hunter capacity" pansies!

↑ increase significantly (100%)  Very low deer numbers well below social acceptance.

I think that means there are no deer up there, hunters are pissed, and the goal is to double the herd.

I think we said the same thing.

You have to read all the info on deer density goals to really know what was done and why.  It's quite a complicated process involving hunters, foresters, general public etc.  All data then helps determine what deer density is best suited for the general area.  If the current density was say 6 deer per square mile and it's felt there should be a few more, then up 25% was recommended.  Cheers.

When the deer density planning started, I attended a lot of their meetings. Although I was not on one of the committees I personally knew 4-5 of the members.  Through them and subsequent informational meetings I learned a lot about how they had managed deer and what they plan to do in the future.  Also a lot of information was published on the subject.  Not saying I agree with it all but they have made a big effort to include all aspects of deer planning.  Of course, CWD threw a big wrench in the works and has taken a lot of the attention away from the overall deer plan.   :pouty:

I suppose moose are part of this deer management plan too.
