Geez, you live in Jersey and I just found this yesterday. Hope you are mending fairly well, it seems like you are.
NJ has an unlimited doe harvest starting with bow in October 3rd then gun and ending with bow Jan 31st. We just about got em wiped out
Where is that?
Sure as heck isn't on the Garden State Parkway!
The stupid animals live on the medium down by me. There are time we will try and count them when we see more then a few.
We have seen upwards of 25 within a 1/2 mile stretch, and that is while driving at 65.
They are an avoidable hazard - if only the state would remove them from the mediums.
This picture below, in the bare spots, typically have a dozen or more deer at any given time
To the Parkway's credit, I have never seen a dead deer more the once, they are very quick with the cleanup.
