Where in Melville do you live? I grew up there as well, New York Ave and Old country road. Never saw deer there. We had a turkey in Commack on my lawn a few years ago. Was funny, right before thanksgiving
That’s wild. Was absolutely never a thing when I was growing up here. The only deer then were on the barrier islands and way out east. Nothing in western Suffolk or Nassau
Just missed hitting a full grown buck around the corner from my house. The southern area of Commack has deer, my first time seeing one though.
Will have to adjust for looking out for deer at night now. What a pain in the ass!
