RE: I saw an eight point buck on the median of the Garden State Parkway
Yea well, I was driving to Ocean City on the Baltimore Beltway and saw a ten point (I estimate) cross about six lanes of heavy traffic. He dang near got nailed but made it to my surprise. I couldn't believe he got across! Whether he made it across the other side of oncoming traffic I don't know. It was around 11 am.

This was up by mile marker 130-something. The only reason I could count the points is because I was driving up the inner shoulder taking measurements for some safety analysis thing and wasn't going anywhere fast.

around exit 100 is loaded with deer. there is a a strip of woods between the north and south bound lanes. kinda a shame because you know most of them are gonna get wasted by cars. they should pave it or something.

RE: I saw an eight point buck on the median of the Garden State Parkway
I have driven that stretch probably 30 times a year for the last 21 years, and can honestly say I have never seen a carcass, but have seen deer hundreds of times. Now I know that doesn't mean there haven't been any, but I never saw one in all that time, ever.
I also know where to hunt those deer... where they come from across the Parkway... Hehe... but that's a little secret!

my brother works on the parkway. they get picked up pretty quick. he knows where they dump them. there are a couple roads and trails on the south bound side. i see trucks once in a while in the morning pulling into those areas. whether its owned by the parkway or privately owned i wouldnt want to get caught.

Oh those are state owned yards if they're what I think you're talking about.
In the past week I've been quite literally EVERYWHERE on the parkway doing this safety analysis thing... I didn't know there were traffic lights on the Parkway down south.
