Guest outdoorgirl Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 i never seen this before...we get to travel a lot because we own a big rig.....anyways.....we were on highway 81 in Pa when i started to notice deer on both sides of the highway.....i would say to Dan look theirs a deer....theirs another on....look theirs more this continued into ny along 81 .....i stopped counting the deer after 300 !!! i never ever seen anything like it before....it seemed that all the deer were on the sides of the roads eating....in the fields...that was the only time i have seen it ....my question is ....why so many deer in plain sight ?...feeding ....hanging out in plain sight and only in Pa and NY.....i can't remember what time of the year it was....i think summer of 2003 because i did see a few smaller bucks. has anybody else ever see so many deer in one evening ?

HuntingInMaine Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Re: deer behavior Do they salt the roads there? Sometimes they like the salt on the sides of the roads....could explain what they were doing, but no, I have never seen that many deer at one time!

horst Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Re: deer behavior Ive seen over a hundred deer together but that usually in the winter time when theyre bunched up.Warm weather thats kinda unusual, or it would be here anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest outdoorgirl Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Re: deer behavior linda they were all over.....i could see them in the woods....fields...road sides .....i was wondering if the moon phase or something played a role ? like i said i only seen this one time....and i'll never forget it ....i was wondering if anybody had a idea why i seen so many deer in the summer time evening.

wtnhunt Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Re: deer behavior Maybe they know season is over. The salt on the roadway and where it washed could have something to do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
