Oh okay. Sounds like they really need to thin out the bucks in your area.

My frame of reference is counties like Jasper, Crawford, Richland, Lawrence, and Wayne. When I drive home to Illinois, I cross into Illininois at Terre Haute and drive south on hwy 1 from Marshall, then west on hwy 50, then have several miles of blacktop and gravel roads. I pretty much have to keep on my toes as i have already hit one deer and have had a couple of close calls on that stretchof road, especially lower highway 1. Its even worse in a lot of rural Richland county. It is easy to hit one or have a close call just driving 35 miles an hour down a gravel road. The local paper now often has a special section in the police reports just to cover the deer related accidents. My family that still lives out in the country have to build fences that look likeVietnam firebase around their gardens just to keep the deer damage at a minimum. That is a hell of a change since the 1970s. I guess that for people whocame of age since the population exploded in the late 1980s and 1990s, all this seems normal. But for other folks it's not.
