75 Deer in 30 min

A buddy and I were driving south of London tonight, around 7 pm. Like any hunter, I always have my head on a swivel hoping to spot game out and about in the fields or on bush lines etc.

Well tonight was something truly special. In a 30 minute span of driving we saw a total of 75 deer. 6 different herds with 10+ in each. We pulled over and counted how many deer were in each herd we saw... amazing. Around every turn or bend was another group!

I don't think I have seen that many whitetails in one day or night ever in my life... I'm speechless, and wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it and experienced it myself. I thought I should share, as I'm sure you can all appreciate this.

Awesome, makes the day worth while, I'd be knocking on some doors now.

Not seeing many in 65 for this time of year. Along the 417 at bearbrook they have done a bunch of cutting where there are usually deer this time of year. No deer eating the tops.

The only place I ever saw that many deer in such a time frame was in Pennsylvania. I guess with climate change Ontario is now like PA.

The above, also I-69 through Michigan , lots of deer!
The most I have ever seen around here was somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 to 37 , they were hard to count as they appeared nervous and were milling about , daughter thought it was great to see all those deer.

Upstate New York for me was the most. It was like a game of Frogger one night.

You could do the same on the 407 for a few bucks and save the effort of door knocking as you can't hunt them on the east portion. Don't know about the west. I watch a couple of the herds in the east. I think that is where some of the outdoor photographers get their big buck photos as they hold in place. Depressing you can't hunt them but I can imagine the outcry if I was to drag a nice buck out. Probably would cause an accident.

for ontario i feel like this was really something special. I felt like i was somewhere in the US Like NY or PA etc. it was a crazy experience. Especially for such a short time frame. I go for a drive and see the occasional herd every now and then, but six herds in a row on the same drive, one after the other was wild...

A few years back I would see close to the same numbers early spring is the same field edge. But not even 1 any other time.
but worth a shot. Good luck nocking on doors! Hope you get permission! Would like to know how your season pans out.
