“…Logging reproduces some of the effects of the fire cycle by clearing away parts of the mature forest. In 1971 Heyman and Twiss [16] observed that "Timber harvest can yield improved habitat for deer and other wildlife," Nevertheless, Weber and Chen [17] note that "Starting in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Federal forest management policy in the Pacific Northwest began to emphasize habitat protection and reduced the timber harvest on Federal lands." A 2015 press report from Oregon [18] observes "some leading scientists support regeneration harvests to create more very young forests favored by deer and elk, conservation groups have opposed them."…”

Analysis of data obtained from an ongoing internet search indicates that the U.S. deer harvest has been falling since about the year 2000. California has had the largest decline from peak to recent harvest of any state. Declining timber sales are highly correlated with the decline in California. States like California with a relatively high proportion of public land, a low hunter success rate, and a persistently skewed buck-to-doe harvest ratio report a lower harvest as a percent of peak. An economic framework is presented to explain how the public decision making process for deer management and the practice of setting the price of deer hunting licenses well below market equilibrium incentivizes some of these result.
