Great pictures of something not seen everyday.
I believe secondcurve is somewhat correct in the concern expressed. Hunters are on the decline in NH. Just go and take the hunters course. There were only 5 last year at the course I took. The instructor told us there used to upwards of 15 to 20 in the course only 5 years ago. Add this to gun and ammo control that will make it too expensive to hunt. There is already a big push to get rid of lead tipped ammo. So this alone will cause ammos cost to go up. It already has actually. The sales of guns is way up...but not for hunting purposes. So the population is bound to spiral upwards until the F&G decide to increase the number of does that can be taken.
I still stop and take pictures of deer when I see them. I guess the nature lover in me just gets going when I see them out in a field or standing by a rock wall.
However, deer control in the near future will be a greater concern as more and more car accidents involving deer will be seen.
