Default How many deer?

On your main piece of property that you hunt the most, how many deer would you estimate, live there?

This includes all deer.

ummm 200 acres. At anytime I could find ten beds probably. But the deer travel through. I have seen as many as seventeen at one time. In a field. Usually groups of five or six though. I live in Northeast Ohio. In PA, where I gun hunt the biggest property is about 300 acres, and I have no idea how many deer are there. Not very many though.

Do you define "live" by bed on property? What criteria?

Because I hunt there 4.5 months out of the year.

Does a deer occasionally bed there? Sure. Does the land I hunt contain terrain/habitat that they prefer to bed in? No.

OK, to clarify, do they use your property as part of their home range? Geesh, can anyone spell anal?

At varying times throughoutthe seasons.....I'd say more than 50 "might" travel through the area I hunt. The land I have access to (baring the land I JUST acquired) has no bedding habitat.
