I guess that depends on what one calls lot of deer, but I can tell you that the game lands in Elk County support some of the best deer populations that can be found in the area. Most areas of our game lands in this part of the state still have as many deer as the habitat can support.

There is no question that the generally smaller game lands around the more metropolitan areas of the state see more hunting pressure and accordingly higher deer harvests as well. But, from my experience the lower deer numbers on those game lands is generally more from the deer being pushed off of the game lands to the private and posted lands around the game lands than from a problem of the deer being over harvested. That is a problem that isn’t easily solved.
