RE: How many deer are in your state?
So is it more deer depending on the region?? I know that here in Va the far western part of the state doesn't have as many deer. The Blue Ridge Mt region is eat up, and also where I live in the central/ Tidewater region going to the beach is rediculous, fields are covered with deer in the evenings, Im talking about 70-125 deer in one field.

Prior to the start of hunting this year there were supposed to be 1.8 million deer in Wi.

As far as I can tell Indiana had 2 deer. An older doe and a small spike. I shot the doe so now we have 1 deer. That is all the deer I've seen in my area the past couple weeks.

Missouri DOC estimates the herd at around 1 million. We, too, can kill 3 bucks and as many does as we buy tags for. Some restrictions apply to that though, such as county.
What amazes me is this.....Missouri hunters kill around 275,000 deer each year, +/- some of course...But the herd has remained pretty constant at 1 million head....That's just amazing to me.....Can you imagine how many deer there would be if we couldn't hunt them??? Well, for a few years anyway, until they all died off..

I called Jefferson City the other day,they said they go by Computers to get an estimation on how many Deer we have.
What gets me they change their story on things.Like opening weekend kill being down they said it was because so many chose to not hunt because of it being warm.Then they said what they have been doing is working by bringing the herd into balance.
The same thing is about to happen with our Turkeys.You can not continue to kill the numbers we have,and continue to have bad hatches without numbers being way down.
