New Jersey is far from the typical deer environment. It is basically a suburban/rural setting where there are plenty of areas that don't see much hunting pressure at all. In fact most of the bigger bucks taken there are from high human population areas where access is extremely hard to get. Where there is little hunting pressure, there are more deer and bigger racks as with the points Totanka was making in his post. The Adirondack mountains of New York is an area that doesn't see much hunting pressure, yet there has never been an abundance of deer up there. Some big bucks are taken, but finding one isn't exactly a snap as in many places in New Jersey. Doe permits are never issued there either, so the hunter who just wants meat is pretty much out of luck if antler restrictions were the rule.
