But for the most part, their populations are WELL below what we have here, even though their habitat, soil and available food is exponentially better than ours.
I can assure that their deer population are not WELL below mine. The only other state I have hunted was in east Texas and they definitley had more deer, but I am also friends with people that hunt in the midwest and they all see way more deer in a hunt than we do in person and on camera.
