Shortage of deer in PA?

[buckhunter]

We have been having a doe problem for a few years around here. Most of the deer I see are doe's. In fairness to the Fish & Game they try very hard to keep the population down but due to the heavy anti hunting element is really tuff to find a decent spot where there are a lot of deer.

Most of the heavy populations are in small woodlots in the burbs. We archery hunt on 25 acres and so far we have identified about 7 or 8 deer on that property. Granted there are a couple hundred acres behind that property that hold deer also. Most of the hunters in this are aren't as lucky as Iam. We have sole accress to private property.

In the big woods areas in Mass the population is still mostly does. These get hammered pretty hard during the season but they just do not issue enough doe permits.
