Forest Game Birds Ie Mammals Whitetailed Deer (5) 4 4 1 3 3 2 5 4 3 Relative Abundance During the 1990-91 deer hunting seasons, one thousand three hundred and sixty (1,360) deer were reported harvested from GRSF. Reconstructing the total deer population based upon this harvest data the present deer population is estimated to the approximately three thousand five hundred and ninety (3,590). Currently, deer density on Green Ridge State Forest is estimated to be 35 to 45 deer per square mile. .' NOTE: These figures were calculated using the 1990-91 reported deer harvest rate for GRSF and assuming that the tQtal reported buck harvest is equal to 20% of the total deer population. These harvest rates were applied to the total 1990 Allegany County reported harvest to estimate the GRSF population.' - 44 3 3 4 3 5 4 3 4 3 3 5 4 3 5 4 3 3 4 4 5 Green Ridge Stale Forest Ten YI!IU' Resource Management Pltm.
