I was born and raised in Sullivan county near Shunk the issue there is not timbeing on private land but getting the State Forest to cut some trees creating habitat. While the PGC sold way too many doe tags for way to long in the area the habitat coupled with that heeds recruitment rates. My hometown area is depressed camps closed up or used for summer trips now all for lack of deer numbers. Drive up Rt 87 around Hillsgrove look at the closed or run and down seedy stores, motels,etc. was not like that when deer numbers were good. My kin still owns farms in the area few have any crops or livestock no reason to grow crops that deer and turkey fed on...hell they come to my place to hunt now!
Hillsgrove is where I've hunted since 1991.
