From what I heard, the deer population reached a LOW during 1932.
The great depression.
(not the greatest YET!)
Probably true.
I live in a wooded area in NJ. Horse farms, farms, remotely populated. There are actually large tracts of NJ that has a country living style.
I have at least three families of deer living nearby. One family has two albinos,mostly white with just a few shades of brown. Yearlings, I think. I think they look terrific!
But a man's gotta eat.
