You are a private landowner adjacent to the public land upon which the deer spend much of their time. You like deer, but there is a limit after all. You represent the Bureau of Forestry which manages hundreds of thousands of acres of state forests and gives advice to those who manage the hundreds of thousands of acres of private forests. The regenerative capacity of the forests is directly dependent on the size of the deer herd. If the herd is much more than about 18-19 deer per square mile, most of the young saplings are eaten before they can mature.
Every time there is a timber sale, the necessary regeneration is either too slow or non-existent.
You believe that forests can be managed sustainably for all the generations to come, but not if other interests create a lack of regrowth. The more deer there are, the greater the chances that your guests will get one and the greater the chances they will return next year. You are the park manager . You must manage the resources of the park to produce the greatest good for the most people without offending any of your major constituencies. You must also answer to the politicians who tend to change with every election.
