There is one <br />area that should have special emphasis, which the plan also dddresses, and that it is imperative <br />that provisions be made for harvest of deer in the area. <br />The present management of Rabbit Mountain does not permit a harvest of deer. If this <br />management were to be promulgated for the entire area, overpopulation will quickly develop and <br />with it the usual problems of overuse of the range, disease, and damage problems. <br />The reclamation plan as outlined in the application presents a plan that will enhance the wildlife <br />values not only from a game animal point of view but also for nongame and the raptors in <br />particular. Therefore, we concur with the stated plans for the project as it will also enhance the <br />recreational value as well. <br />Y. <br />Biologist <br />DB/jk/L41 <br />cc MLRB <br />Moss <br />Babler <br />Leonard <br />File <br />
