Deer Aplenty

Amazing.

Last year a total of 12 deer were killed here at The Platz.  The neighbors killed plenty of deer too.  We knew coming into the year that the deer herd here on the peninsula was large.  How large?  Large enough to to set a new record of vehicle-deer wrecks.

By the end of November, 2015 a total of 403 deer collisions were reported.  That tied the previous 12 month record set back in 2003.

Judging from all of the deer that are showing-up on my trail cameras in the last couple of weeks we've hardly put a dent in the population.

Too many deer remain on the landscape.

2016 should bring another large number of collisions and the hunting should remain steady. 

Drive safely.
