You said you had never seen a starving deer. I told you where there was one, many in fact. Now y’all are acting like I’m trying to prove I saw a black panther. Apples or oranges I don’t care. You said you never saw a starving deer. I told you where they were. Simple as that.
And OMSP is completely different than the rest of the state, completely different from average deer in the rest of the state, and is a unique case that shouldn't be used as a comparison to the rest of the state for conservation.
As for Frankie's statement, he meant he's never seen a starving deer in the wild, average, typcial, non-park situation. You know that's what he meant.
OMS can, however, be used as a great example of preservation (not conservation) and what anti-hunters would achieve if they were able to do away with hunting - heavy browse, habitat degration, negative interactions with homeowners/vehicles (eating flowers, car crashes), diseased deer and so forth. OMSP was a textbook case of having a PC situation - "don't hunt there, don't shoot the pretty deer, Aaaagggghhhh!" - get out of hand with the whitetail population that suffered.
