I can only speak for state game lands in my area and they have been grossly overhunted and the deer population is next to nothing. I hunt and scout the game lands for other wildlife and I can say without a doubt that the deer population has been decimated in the three major gamelands in my area. I have hunted for weeks in turkey and bear season and seen only a very few deer (less than 12) and having spoken to other hunters in these game lands they too have reported that they did not see but a few deer if any at all. I now travel an hour to hour and a half from my home to hunt deer on state park ground/sgl. In some areas I understand that the deer population is healthy and in good numbers, but in other wmus they have been managed poorly in my opinion.
