Plate 38. A (Upper). Man's interest in managing the land to produce grouse 

 is often directly affected by what he does or does not do to control other animals, 

 such as deer. In recent years, deer populations in many areas such as parts of 

 Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, the Pisgah National Forest, North Carolina, have been 

 permitted to increase to such an extent that their browsing has partially destroyed 

 the range for deer and grouse alike. B (Lower). When deer populations are too 

 large for the carrying capacity of the range, it is impossible to establish success- 

 ful tree plantations. Note damage to white pine seedling from deer browsing.
