P & G property is loaded with deer.That isn't the question.BB is trying to say that they traveled several miles to get there when pressured.
All of the land from the junction of RT 6 and Rt. 87 to Meshoppen is within 2 miles of the PGC property. Since the majority of that land is open fields, it is not at all unreasonable for deer to travel 2 miles to find a secure area.
How long do you think it takes a spooked deer to run a mile?
Here is what you posted before on another thread.
BB2,The area I'm talking about in Wyming county is located on rt 6,several miles away from P&G.I spent most of my early years hunting within that area and never saw more than maybe 12 deer a day and that was rare.I'm not talking about the area right around the plant.Obviously that area could never be over harvested.I used to hunt a farm that bordered P&G property during flintlock season inthe late 80's and we routinely saw 30-40 deer each day.
Now you are telling us that hunters harvested 80 deer PSM in the same area where you claimed to see less than 12 deer/day. So which story is the truth?
