The info is from this year's harvest report. From a quick look over all the cities listed in the entire state, Warwick is something like 3rd for total deer take. The other areas somewhat close to it aren't anywhere near the numbers there. So what's the deal? Good land? Giving out a ton of tags there? Huge hunter population? I know there isn't much in the way of public land. I've never been over to that area but am pretty interested.

Thanks for the black dirt reference. This 26,000 acre former swamp land which would frequently flood prior to early 1900's . When a drainage ditch was,esrtablished to keep the area from flooding. The farmers use to produce 30,000 pounds of onions per acre. Due to changes in popular taste of the onions the area farmers began to diversify with planting lettuce,radish,potatoes,tomatoes,carrots and sod. While this land is very fertile it isn't conductive to having large structures built on it. So it will remain farmland for a long period of time. And this 26,000 acres of farmland apparently sustains a large population of deer. In fact you have to travel 250+ miles to find another dump that has,a comparable harvest rate in NY.
