The DNR doesn't even know the answer to that, $64 question!

Oh, they know, but it's one of those things that can generate a whole new set of theories about what the statistics should be, and I don't blame them for not publicizing them. It would generate more arguments that what is going on at the moment.

One thing is for sure: there are more deer in Indiana than their fellow animal predators can keep under control.

Does ANYBODY know how many whitetails we have in Indiana? ;D How many are acceptable to THOSE IN CHARGE of the herd size? ;D Lets just say that a couple of reliable sources in the Dnr put the unofficial number around 600,000 give or take ! I beleive him to. But that said the reason that they do not estimate the herd officially is because much like the harvest if an area or asome people are seeing alot of deer then the DNR is wrong if the reverse happens and some do not see many deer oin an area or personally the once again the DNR is wrong .Besides the population is done by modling not a state wide count.  |

The Whitetail Deer population in Indiana would be difficult to estimate. Taking a wild guess I'd say around 350,000 to 400,000.

It' a Scientific wild ass quess at best anyway's. Some places got too many and other's not enough. Your better off trying to get with neighboring landowner's and trying to manage best you can your area. Has worked we'll for me.
