3. Acceptable levels of deer-human conflicts

How Many Deer Are There?
Managing deer based solely on deer density objective is a thing of the past.
The PGC monitors trends and makes management decisions.
Based on the impacts of deer on themselves, the forest and Pennsylvanians.

A Keystone Species of the Keystone State
Deer are a keystone species.
One with tremendous influence on other species.
Because their foraging can cripple a forest ecosystem.

Harvest Estimates
Why Can't We Just Count Them?
Every year, the PGC commits money and manpower to collect data.
From hunter-harvest deer and from hunters themselves.
To estimate the state's annual deer harvest.

Where Are the Deer?
The answer isn't as simple as some might believe.
There may be fewer deer today than there were 10 years ago.
But that?s not the only reason deer might be hard to find.
