Default RE: Deer exterminators!!!???

I remember the golden age of hunting in PA. We'd go out spotting and see 300-400 deer in 3 hours. I can remember when you could spot all night, and we'd see 800-1000. That has been a while ago but even still, driving from NC to PA is an adventure, starting just south of Morgantown WV all the way to Washington PA, we stop counting deer at 150 and the dang things stand on the side of the road and feed. Now this is a 2 hour drive tops, usually 1.5 hours. Stains every 1/4 mile from deer getting hit and you're whiteknuckled on the wheel hoping they just stay there and feed. For fun , in the evenings, we drive up the hill form my parents to the cemetary and never see less than 100 deer, usually approaching 200 and if you go early enough you get to see about 75 turkey before they roost.
