Eastern MA has an incredibly high density of whitetail. 30-50 per sq mi compared to 10-20 in central & western MA. Higher density in eastern MA than upstate NY and northern ME. Eastern MA has some of the highest density of deer in New England and doesn’t get significantly higher westward until about Michigan.

Fuck off back to Minnesota, you're insufferable.

I grew up inside 495 and would see deer almost daily. I had 4 friends who have totaled cars hitting deer at night before we were 18. Grew up hunting deer.

It seems you have no idea what is inside 495

Want a deer story?

I got a deer story.

I drive into work @2am.

Early pandemic my commute into Boston took me on rt 2 between 495 and 95.

One morning, taking flyby where the left turn at the light used to be, I ran through a fresh pool of blood and a mangled deer carcas on the side of the road.

A little less than a mile down was the Prius I am pretty sure hit it.

There are deer, especially in the more wooded areas.

Don't let your hate of highbeams blind you to the wildlife around you.
