Default not long enough....

Grant, I have been waiting for a response like that. I am suprised that more people arent p.o.'d about the number of deer in our area. I saw a pack of about 10 this morning on Almonessin road in Deptford on the way to work. I got a call at ten o'clock last night that my neice hit one on rt. 206 in Shamong twp. It is insane. My brother and I bought a house in the Poconos last fall, Arrowhead lakes, and rt. 80 up there is a killing zone. On our way to Home Depot in Stroudsburg last year, I am telling you, we saw 50 dead deer on the highway in 15 miles of driving. Just about every weekend we are going north, and see them all the way up, the whole trip. From the start of the northeast extention to our front door. Even in our developement, in the Poconos, it is not uncommon to see 10 or 12 in our front yard, 3 or 4 times a day ! I am very suprised about the growing number of them in New Jersey. When I was a kid, it was a treat to see a deer while riding in a car, now, my two year old points them out to me. "Look Dada, DEEEEEEER!" It is scary.
