Description

The story of deer management in Pennsylvania is as complex as it’s controversial. From the disappearance of deer in Pennsylvania forests at the start of the 20 th century to the population explosion that occurred within the latter half of the century, the balance between herd size and a healthy forest has long been a difficult one. In Deer Wars, Bob Frye examines this controversy and the effect that herd management has had on all the citizens of Pennsylvania; farmers managing deer invasions and property rights, hunters coping with changing herd densities and ever-complex restrictions, state agencies juggling the rights of hunters with the desires of commercial interests, all with stakes within the success and health of the deer herd. Now with deer harvests decreasing, Chronic Wasting Disease becoming a potential threat, and forests showing serious signs of trouble, the will for compromise from all the players is very important, but is it conceivable? This well-researched and engrossing book explores that question.
