RE: Interesting trivia question RE: KS deer hunting
You were lucky if you saw a deer in my neck of the woods in the 70's in Kansas. With a heard population of under 400,000 it isn't so surprising. Compared to other states with litterally millions of deer. I'll take the quality over quanity though.

I grew up about 40 minutes from where I live, now.....and today I see 5-10 deer a day just going to work and coming home (on average).
I left for college in the fall of 1982. At that time.....I could count the number of whitetail deer I had seen on LESS THAN ONE HAND.
Since 1977.......our deer herd has grown over 400% (NC). We DO have over 1M deer, here (1.3M?). I'd rather see less deer....but better deer.......given.
