I have the same deal on the way home from work each day. We had 22 inches of snow Saturday and now you can see the deer very well. Today I pulled over and counted 57 deer in one field that was only three or four acres. These deer have been using this same field almost every day for the past few years. They are always there. The funny thing is that hunters hunt the field ajoining this one which is only divided by a strip of woods no more the 100 feet wide. No deer ever in that field!!! I dont even bother trying to get permission. Its a no brainer there.
