I thought PA had a huge deer heard, at least that's what people tell me. Unless huge numbers of deer live in the suburbs and can't be hunted. I see more "pet deer" around the suburbs in the Carolinas than I do in the woods. I believe the hunters have done too good a job thinning the heards outside of the burbs. I did not see a single doe in 2 years of hunting in SC, just small bucks which are off limits for the private land I hunted...moving to new land for next year.
