I have an idea. Whatever county has the most kills, lets get everyone on aldeer to add as many kills to that one, as we can.
A quick view of CNCs maps looks like Montgomery county would be a good candidate. Who's in?

These may be a non-factor, but similar to there being an unknown number of non-reported deer, couldn’t there also be an unknown number of reported deer that were never killed? I wouldn’t think this would be very common but hawndog’s comment got me thinking that there’s nothing that “confirms” a deer was actually killed or where it was killed when it’s reported

My guess is that after all those big deer were reported killed in Jackson. Folk’s decided they did not need the publicity and quit reporting

Unreported kills I’d say is common rural areas not having to drive the interstate/main roads or taken to processor or taxidermist. Many are cleaned and never leave camp as a whole deer. Close the tail gate and go home.

The 4 year trend shows Jackson Co stair stepping downward in decline......Really the only question is where will it level out under the current conditions?

Can anybody tell me what gems of knowledge we have gleaned from ALL he data we have gotten from gamecheck over the years that would justify us'uns having to go thru the gymnastics of reporting kills.

Sure, now the state has all the data they need to twist and mold to fit whatever narrative they decide to push anyways.

No, no they can't. Now be compliant and put your mask on and get the jab!

So does more dead deer mean more live deer, or less? Serious question.

200,979 as of 7:30 p.m.

So, has anyone ever been to a meeting and asked?

This right here in lies the problem. I believe the data can be twisted either way and used to justify shorter or longer seasons/bag limits.

none , just spent money for nothing and force the processors to work for the state with out compensation .... oh , they counted dead deer .

aint been to a meeting but i have , aint got a real answer yet . no better off than ever before , they still making a guess

“Lies, damn lies and statistics”. Anyone can take the numbers and make them say whatever they want.

....but....but........the graphs!!

this is the thing , even if the population stay the same there could be many reason why the kill number could go up and down .

I love a good mystery!

200,984

I totally do not understand why 2 full days after season has ended that the numbers are still climbing.

Slowly, but still going up.

Who is checking in that many deer two days after season has come to an end?

i wouldnt check one in that late might get a ticket
