The problem with counting deer in winter is they yard up. I saw in the paper a few weeks ago that in there survey that they found some areas had 0 deer per square mile while one area had 232 deer per square mile. That's why you don't do it during the winter or set goals by doing it that way. Also just checked there latest CWD count and only .84% of deer tested had it. Is this something that we really need to kill more deer for. Hunters take out enough deer each year that we don't need more hunting seasons to kill them.
