Rob,
There are deer in Rhode Island as I stated - but the lack of any big woods does create an issue with access and the sheer number of hunters. I'm originally from Taxachusetts and would shoot at Warren and Narraganset at times. I don't actually enjoy the shooting deer in a barrel approach when the number of deer per squre mile are as high as they are in Rhode Island and parts of New Jersey. Hunting with the sound of cars passing by doesn't do it for me. I guess I'm much more of a big woods hunter.
By the way, they not only hire sharpshooters in Princeton, NJ. I have them literally in my back yard. I've had to kick them off my property and have them relocate by ten yards onto conservation land that abuts my property and I'm only 35 minutes from New York City. I have deer in my yard, within 20-30 yards of my house, almost every day and I'm sure, every night.
