The Deer Population In Each State

[@geraldbarney513]

Suggestion; don’t repeat the deer population is. Fifty times. Just name state and the number of deer.

[@josephshields2922]

How about showing a chart, easier.

[@glorybound7599]

I’m a deer hunter in Arkansas. I see deer regularly around the year. I have deer 🦌 having their young in my yard in the spring. The size varies from small in the south to large in the north parts of the state. I harvest 2-4 deer 🦌 annually. There are one of the most gentle and interesting animals. Venison is an excellent source of protein and much more flavorful than beer especially now since much beer in stores comes from outside the USA. I try to care for and maintain a herd of at least a half dozen does around my home and harvest 1-2 a year. The rest I hunt at a deer camp. I provide forage, mineral supplements and improved habitats where they can thrive. I look forward to the time I spend in the woods with my 4 legged friends. My family enjoys watching them live and grow around our home. They continue to bring great memories to our lives.

[@buck546]

@@glorybound7599 Same here, I live in the West Virginia Mountains and I have deer and other wildlife including black bears all around me. I have a small pond on my property and the Moma deer come every year next to it to give birth to their fawns. I had to give up hunting them but my wife and I enjoy watching the little ones grow up.

[@jamesprior2496]

beer?

[@9Ballr]

The deer population in my back yard is about 200,000.

[@tonywoconish6695]

🗣️When I started hunting deer 🦌 in Oklahoma in 1986, the deer population was about 500,000. You were allowed 3 bucks and 1-2 does depending on what region you hunted in. Then, the State decided to give us 2 bucks and 4 does. Then decided to ADD a Holiday Bonus Doe of ONE. Now it’s up to TWO does. So, a resident deer 🦌 hunter can now take 8 deer PLUS if they draw out for a special hunt …THAT DEER TO. Population is now 750,000 …and growing. I usually average 1-2 deer per year, having killed 67 deer over the last 35 years (this number includes hunting successfully in Texas and Minnesota). My 2023 season was THE BEST in 35 years, harvesting 5 deer here in Oklahoma (I kept 2 and gave the other 3 to needy families). Oklahoma deer hunters DONATED about 100,000 pounds of deer meat 🥩 to FEED THE HUNGRY PROGRAM here in the State in 2023. The deer you harvest, stays in your County. I look forward to another great season in 2024. SEMPER FI 🇺🇸🤠

[@mizzury54]

Great that the extra meat goes to charity. I can't imagine what would happen if a deer season was suspended for just one year. The state would be overcome with deer

[@blauer2551]

347,000 were harvested in Michigan in 2023. Those are the ones that were reported.

I see multiple deer daily, since my area of WV is overrun with them. Your population numbers would have more impact if it was translated to a density statistic, such as deer per square mile.

[@buck546]

When I was a boy back in the early sixties we rarely saw a whitetail deer in southeren WV. Today they are everywhere. Hunting is a big sport here so we love having plenty of deer. The ownly down side is our expensive auto insurance!

[@grantp4022]

The deer population in the US, is about the same as the amount of people in each of Canada, and Australia. That's a lot of DEER. Well done USA.

[@DaninVirgina-mg7rf]

Live in SC. I live in a rural area on 14 acres. Used to see a lot more deer before those pesty coyotes came around. Now it's a rare sight.

[@raywells2858]

Im in Texas and its not unusual in the suburbs to see deer daily. Its also why I took up archery, so I would have easy access to some of those deer without having a deer lease and buying corn by the pallet.

[@wyattgardner3552]

The auto generated voice is annoying, monotone and repetitive. I only made it 3 states in. No species separation, no density, no geography, no cited resources for your estimates. Geez

I’m in N. E. Florida and we see Deer every three days!

[@LarryLaird-if6sc]

I live in north central Arkansas and have some acreage and have lots of beautiful whitetail on it i feed them year-round.😊

[@ELW2940]

I see whitetail deer in my 1.6 acre SC yard almost daily. We have to be very cautious driving especially at night. Hardly a night goes by that there’s not at least one accident involving deer on our island, third largest on the eastern seaboard.

[@ryanfirst9761]

I’m going to say we are still over 1M in SC. You’ll see them all hours of the day and night even in towns. Several years ago traffic had to stop at Harden and Gervais Streets in Columbia because of a doe in the middle of the intersection.

[@eduardoolaechea]

Would be interesting if you could break down this data per deer species, and also add a graph showing historical fluctations in populations, per species for each state.

[@ronaldtipton6035]

TLDR: Top states are: Texas -5.5 million Michigan -2.0 million Mississippi -1.75 million Wisconsin-1.6 million Pennsylvania- 1.5 million Missouri-1.4 million

[@CRV69]

I live in southern Georgia and I see deer every day.

[@mikeziegler7008]

There sure are a lot of elk in this deer video. Plus, almost no mention of the promised deer species variations.

[@Rick_Sanchez_C137_]

A good piece of knowledge to go with this would be to list states with cheap hunting licenses and deer tags for non residents (and number of tags per person if more than one), so we know which direction to go to fill more tags that our own states allow, cause some states only allow each hunter one deer per year, but we can fill a big freezer if we go to a state with lots of public land and cheap licenses/tags…..

I see deer everyday in my back yard, & front yard as well; Mostly does, & every year the 2 oldest does give birth to at least 2 fawns each. I don't see bucks till early fall, & the early winter between 5 to 7 bucks will hang together, & pass through my property as well; I live in Virginia also sometimes they will lay down in my back yard for about a 1 hour or more.

The populations are higher in the Eastern half of the country (except for Texas). Because there’s more rain there (which means more vegetation), and fewer predators as well.

[@freewilly4084]

A small family of deer live in the woods around my house. About 5 or 6 animals. With 2 to 3 small ones every year. But the total amount does not increase. I think the males leave. As there are no racks on any of the deer, ever.

[@patroberts5449]

I feel bad for the Nevada situation, the droughts are killing them off. I hope there is help for those deer.

[@michaelsadams524]

I live in Maryland. I see deer often because we have a lot of forest and we are more rural than other parts of the state.

[@richardyoung871]

In this video he talks about how many deers are in each state,and when he comes to Hawaii he says that there are roughly 25,000 or more,and I am from Honolulu Hawaii and I have never heard of deers in Hawaii, maybe the Big Island or Hawaii, but never heard of anything like this, but Hawaii is the biggest and the youngest of all the Hawaiian islands and I don't think that I would eat deer meat,and I think it's called VENISON but I think it's very tough meat,meaning you have to tenderize it, and braise it for a long time in order to be tender enough to eat,and I bet it tastes gamey.But very interesting video.

[@souledout3791]

My Lord. I live in the mountains of Virginia and we are OVERRUN with deer. I have noticed in the last few years more doe’s are having twins. Day and night our yard is full of them. They seem not to be aggressive or scared either.

North Carolina here. They are everywhere here. You see them at all times of the day, even in the cities. We have natural predators but not enough to keep them in check. Not enough hunters to limit their population and keep them from hitting cars, lots of motorcyclist getting killed by them. I hate to see deer killed by cars, so wasteful.

Hunters will never complain about "Too many deer" because they want to be able to walk ten feet from their truck to get a kill. They will tell you the 1,500 Grizzlies are too many even though they are endangered. They will tell you there are too many Black bears and don't even mention a handful of wolves in Yellowstone Park because they see all predators as competition but they will never admit that there are too many deer.

The people giving Wyoming numbers are located on the Eastern side of Wyoming. University of Wyoming did give a report after the winter of 2022 where there were huge losses of Mule deer in the western ranges. That being said, there was a lot left out. Yesterday I saw five different mule deer. And ZERO White tails. Remember in Wyoming many animals(Cows, Antelope, Ground Squirrels, Prairie dogs, etc) greatly out number human population of Wyoming.
