NORTH BUFFALO, Pa. -- Pennsylvania Department of Transportation crews have removed some 200 deer carcasses piled in a yard in North Buffalo Township, Armstrong County.

Channel 4 Action News' Amber Nicotra spoke to PennDOT's Harold Swan, who said crews began removing the remains from the property on Sportsman Road around 5:30 a.m. on Wednesday.

The carcasses were collected by Randy Good, an Armstrong County man who's contracted to remove them from southwestern Pennsylvania roadways.
Good said there have been so many that he's overwhelmed. He has a contract with PennDOT to pick up dead deer in five counties. He said he's been picking up 50 or more a day.

Good is required to take the carcasses to approved landfills, which are closed on the weekend. So, in order to use his truck to pick up the new ones, he's been discarding the old ones in his yard.

Neighbors complained to local officials and to Channel 4 Action News about the stench and other problems associated with the pile of dead animals.

Some neighbors told Channel 4 Action News that even people a half-mile away have burned candles in their homes to mask the odor.
After removing the remains, PennDOT crews put lime on the driveway to try to help mask the smell, Nicotra reported.
