KITTANNING, Pa., Nov. 17 (UPI) -- Neighbors of a Pennsylvania man contracted to remove dead deer from roads in the southern part of the state are raising a stink about the stench.

SAVE MONEY ON TRAVEL DEALS

Randy Good, who was hired by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation to remove deer carcasses from roadways in five counties, said landfills approved to accept them are closed on weekends so he is forced to empty his truck in his yard to keep it free for new calls, Pittsburgh's WTAE-TV reported Tuesday.

Good said there are a couple hundred deer on his Armstrong County lawn because of a high volume of deer, about 50 per day, and problems with his truck.

"We've gotten over 900 deer in the last two weeks, and ... I've never got anything close to that", Good said.

"We had a truck break down at the same time, and by the time the weekend overflow built up because of the truck being down, well, you see the results", he said, standing near the carcasses.

The smell has raised several complaints from neighbors half a mile away from his property.

"It's terrible. You can't go outside at night. Tonight, we're lucky. It isn't bad. Every now and then, the wind blows or we get a breeze and you can smell it, but there are a lot of nights (when) we'll let the dog out, you don't even want to open the door to let him out", neighbor Dallas Bryan said.
