Someone is claiming less than 5% of hunters harvest over 36,000 deer.......LOVE to see proof of this.

The only data point we have for the number of hunters that take more than 2 deer is from the 2010 survey. www.in.gov/dnr/fishwild/files/fw-MR_1034_2010_Deer_Hunter_Survey.pdfPage 28 shows a table with the percentage of hunters that took 0-8+ deer. Doing some math with the numbers, you'll see that 4.6% of hunters surveyed took 4+ deer, totaling 31,223 deer. There is a bit of a mis-match of the total deer taken versus the calculated taken because of the 4.1% of respondents saying they "didn't know" how many deer they took.  |

What would the number of hunters be that represent that 4.6%? I've seen this study, would love to see a new one done too! |

So 4.6% would be 7098 hunters. I agree this should be done more often. I think a survey should be required to be completed each time a deer is checked in. Since it is already online and the webpage built, just add more questions. |

Your question of how many hunters led me figuring out how they got the 36000 number. So depending on the unknowns, the number is somewhere between 31k and 36k.

4.10% don't know how many deer they took, that's interesting. 6326 hunters had no idea what they shot that year?

That is still roughly just 4.5 deer a hunter average...granted much higher than I've ever done in a season personally but a far cry from what some claim fellas grabbing 8+ or even a dozen or more a year. I do think it is a small number.
Now the crazy thing is I'm currently hunting multiple properties but they are in what I'd consider 3 very different localized herd settings amongst them, despite in same county.
I could this year easily justify a doe an area...and tag a buck...but doubt I do that unless come late season it seems very few does were taken out. I'm a big fan of waiting to harvest a 2nd doe off any area until I can somewhat gauge the hunting impact for the year and maybe do a late season hunt.

I would say, more than likely, they didn't read the survey correctly or misunderstood. I can't imagine the 300 or so people (about 8000 surveyed) didn't know how many deer they killed. |

With the current system, no need for survey questions to answer the question. Should be a simple answer to find out how many deer killed by each hunter. Its all in the data base

I hope the new person at the DNR, accomplishes this. However, who knows if they have a contract with a company that collects all the harvest data for them and what that all entails/allows without additional money. Sounds corrupt but they could be tied to a contract until they get out...hope that isn't the case though. |

I agree, it would be nice for a new study.
For about 8-10 years I took either 3 or 4 to feed my family. Since 2012 EHD, one or two. This year two is planned. One early doe (October) and then hold off for a large buck (160+). If no buck, then a 2nd doe late season either in Indiana or Ohio.

So less then 15% of Hunter kill more then 2 Deer.... The better question is how many deer are killed with a regular lic vs antlerless permit ? |

But, those 10.2% accounted for around 40% of the total deer killed. |

How many of the 40% could have or was killed with a regular lic?

How many of the 40% could have or was killed with a regular lic? An estimated 28,231 deer were killed with "bonus antlerless" license. That's the only data they give, about 19% of the total kill. |
