The 2020 deer report says only 1,115 were killed in the HNF during the 2020 season. Seems like a very low amount for as much property as there is. I haven't hunted public in many years and I am wondering how they know. When you check a deer in and say it was on public does it have you tell which property?

Yes it asks which property then asks for a 4x4 mile mark on a map or something to that size.

I wonder if the questions are prompted by answers. Does private ask you to designate a 4x4 square mile or somekind measurement of exact location deer was killed or is it only for the public hunters?

So they are prompted questions. It'll ask private or public- public. Then asks county- then asks the public property- then asks to mark it. And they show a map. They claim the mark represents so many miles ( i think to myself: so no one is stealing someone else's spot... on public...) lol

I don't ever remember it asking me what 4x4 square I killed my deer out of. But it does ask me what county, if private or public, I answer public, then it asks if it was Federal or State, then it asks if it was HNF or "Other"

I am now convinced that the DNR does know the amount of deer killed on HNF or at least the ones reported. I went scouting some years ago to a section for turkies and thought i might check it out for a late season muzzleloader hunt. I am having second thoughts now based on the amount of deer taken. Probably the absence of ag and food result in the low numbers.

There was around 8,000 Deer shot on public land last year…. We are about halfway there now on public land.

I guess I didn't see the survey. Reception is spotty where we hunt. I had him physically tagged with a paper tag as soin as I had reception i tagged him via website, i think i remember the question asking about the survey i think i declined i still had a lot of work in front if me. I'll look for and take the survey on any doe I get from here in out. |

That makes sense I'll look for the survey next time. |

Took the survey, thank you. Is this the survey they would give you to get the old style metal tag? I hope so I have one of the old ones in my top drawer I'd love to get another. |
