I heard complaints of no deer around New Hope PA. Here's my conversation with my buddy that lives there.
"Is it true the USDA is culling deer in Solebury?"
"Yes they have killed over 1000 already. We have six deer left on my aunts farm and she did not allow any of them onto her 120 acres but the properties around her have. In previous years the herd was in the 50s it is literally down to six doe and I have only seen one decent shooter buck all year"
"No wonder I'm not seeing deer."

When the hunters can't get the job done, municipalities have no choice but to explore more effective options in order to satisfy their residents. Get used to it.

Well, looking at what they did to valley forge, when you wipe out a herd, takes a while to see them again. I live right around the corner from valley forge, have not seen a deer In there in years. It is possible they were run out as well. They figure it out quickly.

Game agencies will be struggling to get deer killed in the future. Hunters must be willing to do their part and not put up roadblocks to get it done.

DPMS, the roadblocks in 5D are the property owners who will not give anyone permission to hunt their properties yet demand the townships & the state do something about the deer.
