Drop those are truely amazing pics. I've worked in Princeton for the past 8 years now and have witnessed some reallyhuge bucks.....far greater than we have here in the Hammonton/Atsion area.(Atlantic/Burlington Counties) I've seen many just in peoples yards eating their landscape. The farms and fields are true to your description. I always tell my friends it looks like Illinois.

I live right in the Wharton tract(hour and 1/2 from Princeton), and the most of the bucks are shot at a young age. The clubs decimate young bucks. It's actually sickening. Between the abundance of coyotes, blue tongue, and the six day firearm decimation, our local herds are to a minimum. The late doe season inzone 25 doesn't help much either. I feel it does more harm than good. Once again the clubs killeverything in sight....fawns, pregant does, and breaker bucksget wiped out.

I stopped trying to get permission to huntprivate ground inPrinceton. It seems every resident is an anti. Every block of woods is posted beyond belief, and frankly I'm tired of their antihunting/elitist attitudes. The bucks are certainly in a safe haven.

You might have somthing there about the bucks not crossing the street......or maybe they're just so old and smart that they look for cars. I've seen literally hundreds of dead deer in the past 8 yearson the side of the road(always with the "red X")in Mercer County, and not one of them was evera buck.
