The key habitat of these species <br />will be limited after impoundment. Valleys are narrow and <br />are not considered excellent habitat for these species. Af- <br />ter impoundment no suitable habitat will be available to ab- <br />sorb the population. <br /> <br />Subsequent to 1946, land use changes and scientific management have <br /> <br />advanced remarkable increases in deer populations throughout the south <br /> <br />including the Clark Hill project area. The Clark Hill project lands <br /> <br />were one of the early (1951) white-tailed deer release sites in both <br /> <br />Georgia and South Carolina. Today an estimated 9,450 hunter-days for <br /> <br />deer and harvest of 630 animals is estimated for the project lands (Pros- <br /> <br />ser, Martin and Stroud, 1977.). <br /> <br />Keystone Lake. This project flooded 24,500 ac (9,915 ha) under the per- <br /> <br />manent pool and acquired in fee a surrounding tract of land totaling 24, <br /> <br />930 ac (10,089 ha). Construction of the project was expected to serious- <br /> <br />ly depress the big game resources of the area which were supporting an <br /> <br />estimated 130 man-days of hunting (Bennett, 1961). This planning docu- <br /> <br />ment provided the following prognosis if additional lands were not ac- <br /> <br />quired and managed: <br /> <br />Inundation of wildlife habitat will eliminate big-game hunt- <br /> <br />47 <br />
