petey,
I bought my 60-acre farm in 1988 and used to see 8, 10 or 12 deer in my 20-acre hayfield every night. I now see one deer all Summer long. Yes, there is a deer shortage in Richmond Township, Tioga County, PA as I know it.
I told Gary Alt in 2002 at the Mansfield, PA High School if he wanted to BALANCE the PA Buck To Doe RATIO, merely stop archers in PA from killing 30,000 bucks pre-rut for ONE year! Gary ignored my input on the ratio matter.
As of today, I still see very few deer here. I say there is a continuing SHORTAGE of deer on my farm compared to 1988.
