I reakze it can be a hit and miss on deer numbers ,
There is NO way to no exact numbers for sure .
How abought getting hunters in each area do a survey on the deer seen on each hunt or scouting trip in the field ?
I no they had one for turkeys last year ,
Heck I filled it out and I dont even hunt turkeys .
I still cant figure out how they can predict deer numbers in an area by the deer take ?
During the rut witch is at least a 3rd of the season up here the Bucks run everywhere and push the does to .
