Usually not alot! In north MN where I hunt I have the same problem!! The thing is they give permits for such big areas that sometimes you get stuck in an area that hold alot of deer 10 or 20 miles away, but not in your immediate area!
In my instance, the deer herd on the North Shore of Lake Superior is very large, but 15 miles inland, not near as large. We, however, are in the same doe permit area! This year because of the large heard, we were allowed to shoot 4 does! If you added all the days that each guy at our shack hunted we logged 102 days with 10 guys, and we only got 4 deer and saw 4 more! I might add that we hunt over 1000 acres of land!!! I know the heard is much larger than the 8 deer we saw, but it's not large enough for each hunter to take 4 does and a buck!!! All I can do is keep requesting that they change the area borders!!! I, however, doubt it will ever happen!!!!
