Multiseason odds?

There are more deer today than there ever have been in history.  We have us hunters to thank for that!

I've applied all six years. I'm 3/6 drawing Deer and 1/6 drawing Elk.

That's not true. We had a lot more deer statewide back in the 1980's.

There are more deer today than there ever have been in history.  I stand behind my statement.

[grundy53]

maybe more whitetail. But DEFINETLY not more blacktail. In fact there is a LOT less blacktail.

[dscubame]

Agree on the blacktail decrease due to urbanization of the habitat.

Mostly the hair loss disease.

I will have to look that up and do a little research.

That's 100% wrong but I won't argue. Maybe you should read the Game Status and Trend Report:

I am very familiar and it only goes back to 2001.  That is 15 years away from say 1985.  In addition it is by region with some being up and some down but again since 2001.  There are more deer today than there have been in past history and we can thank us hunters for that!  Again I stand behind my statement.

WTH??? There were more blacktail deer, more mule deer, and more whitetail deer 10 years ago than there is today!

[grundy53]

I still think you should narrow that down to "More Whitetailed Deer then ever before" but whatever.

I don't know enough about the whitetail numbers. But I would totally agree about the mulies and blacktails.

[dscubame]

Perhaps Grundy but I am not sure there are not more Mule deer today.  You could have a valid point however.
