Currently the Wildlife Management Area that includes the northern part of Bucks county has the largest allocation of antlerless deer permits in the state. The total state allocation for permits is almost 900,000.
Wealthy land owners are not the problem. Suburban sprawl has made hunting unsafe/not permitted in many areas that harbor huge herds of deer. I live on 2 acres, and my neighbors have similar or larger lots, but it's not legal to discharge a firearm within 150 yards of a house. Legally I can't shoot a deer in my back yard and I frequently have many nosing around. I'm considering a cross bow.
