As an Alabama native, I am of the opinion that 75% of the whitetail population are within 5’ of a highway at any given time. If you want to hunt whitetail, bring your truck down, park on the side of the road, sit in the bed of the truck for a few minutes and wait for a Camry or civic to drive by. A family of deer will magically manifest.
OK, guys … I spent WAY too much time on this today, but for all those who were nit-picking, here are the total of Whitetails Per Square Mile for these states. Mississippi 35.0; Alabama 32.0; Pennsylvania 28.6; Kentucky 24.6; North Carolina 24.4; Wisconsin 23.7; Arkansas 20.7; Missouri 17.6; Michigan 17.5; Texas 11.5 Here are more states for those who were asking: Indiana 22.2; Georgia 17.2; Iowa 12.5; Louisiana 11.3; Kansas 7.9; Florida 7.5; Montana 1.4; Wyoming 0.6; Connecticut 12.8
Ain't no way that's accurate, sorry 😂 how does Michigan go from 2nd place in total numbers to way down the list in population density? Reality tells me otherwise, I live in central Michigan, and it's ridiculous
@@matthewb3640 the body size doesn’t bother me it’s still fun to hunt any deer. I was stationed in NC for quite awhile and those deer are even smaller then TX deer but it was still fun hunting them not to mention you get 6 out there. TX you get 5 but most leases only allow you to kill 1 or 2 and the leases are crazy expensive.
@@matthewb3640I worked on a ranch in south Texas and a hunter shot a buck that weighted 220 field dressed. Panhandle deer can also get pretty big. But the hill country/central Texas deer are not big bodied. Heaviest central Texas whitetail I have personally harvested was a 125 field dressed and he was 7.5 years old.
That's called Bergmann's Rule. Mammals and birds tend to be bigger the further north you go due to the cold. I would imagine that Appalachian NC deer are bigger than coastal ones due to that, but I've never killed a coastal one so idk.
There are not as many as you think. They are populated in small urban areas. They are sparse in large wood lots in northern part of state. There is no where near the numbers up north. There used to be many more deer in northern areas UP is really bad.
I've counted 40 + deer in a field in West Virginia, in decient weather. Maryland has a lot of deer also but you can kill 4 to 9 (depending on the region)or more a year there so their numbers will be lower per sq mile.
I've been hunting in WV and witnessed the locals kill up to 7 in a day and not report a single one. When reported to DNR they gave the one reporting it the third degree and searched and investigated them.
This list was just total number, not density. WV is kinda small area wise, like PA is. PA had 1.3 million but every state that had more, was much bigger in area. I bet WV is close to PA, it's just a smaller size area so it didn't quite make the list. It's probably much denser than many states on the list though.
@@kennylowe9404 texas is weird on deer population. Some are nowhere to be found in east Texas and then there’s places where they overrun everything lol. Deep west Texas is all mule deer. Its weird. Some places they’re everywhere and some, not so much. Just depends where you go
Michigan here, knew we'd have a lot 😂 also Texas might have the most, but the state is massive, so relative to their size it's essentially less "dense" with deer. So... We win 😅
Much smaller deer as well. I also believe that Michigan deflates it's numbers because of the auto insurance companies. I believe it's close to 2 million deer that's why they extended gun season into December and another doe only in January couple that with 200,000 fewer hunters these days and so many trophy hunter only and it may even be higher than 2 million.

When 5+ of the other states(totaling over 6 million deer) fit inside Texas...ya really can't call Texas #1, when they only have 3.1 million. Deer density is the best way to rank states.

@@ronniejohnson317 We just 90 degrees today for the first time. Our rut is spread out over months and these bucks turn nocturnal quick. We grow big bucks because they aren't usually standing around in fields.👍
I went mule deer hunting in Oregon last week and we saw 15 deer on private property 8 antelope on private property and 1 bunny rabbit. And it was a perfect place it had food water and shelter. Out of all the people there only one person got anything.
I wish they would've included population per acre or per square mile as well. I'm from TX and grew up hunting there so I'm happy to see it's number 1 but it is so much bigger than other states id like to see where they are the most densely populated as well.
Western Pennsylvania, Beaver county to be exact was the most incredible deer hunting I ever experienced. I saw a 400# buck with my father in law in his farm. It got flushed out of its lair by a pack of domestic dogs that were trailing him . The old not typical monster did not seem too concerned cause he stopped to look at us. Probably the first humans he’d ever seen . PA was crazy during the rut…if you made it without hitting a air born deer jumping the highways or secondary roads you got lucky. I let my boss who was from Texas hunt my property up there and he never saw anything like that in Texas. He bagged a very impressive 11 point the first day I set him loose in there. It piled up 20’ from his Jeep. He brought it to work to show me as I was working that Saturday.
Washington used to have tons here, but when I was little in 2008 we had the bad winter that killed em off, then a couple years late blue tongue killed em off. We used to have herds of them everywhere. Still plenty but lost 80%!
New York deer population is said to be 1.273 million deer according to DEC that was 2023 and we had a week winter so I would assume the number to be high this year. And in the Adirondack area whitetails can weigh as much as 300 lbs
You also have to look at how much land is in each state and divide every acre by how many deer there are based on that to see what the actual numbers are
I love PA where my family is from i got my first buck last year on thanksgiving nice 8 pointer and i cant wait to go hunting again in a few weeks with my uncle and cousin and hopefully get another one 😊
Numbers don't always mean quality. There's big deer in Texas, sure, however, most Texas deer are skinny, overpopulated and unhuntable. Sometimes, I'll see herds of doe's that literally look like small skinny dogs.
I lived in TX for a while. There are tons of deer there, but they're also tiny compared to the ones in Maine where I'm from originally. I never checked the numbers, but I'd say like half the weight. Or close to it.
Montana should've been up there. when I was younger I would spend summers with my aunt and uncle there, couldn't go around a corner without seeing several
I'm surprised Tennessee didn't make the list. I live in the northeast section, and our deer are everywhere. If you go out intontown at night (1-4am) you will see herds of them standing in parking lots and people's yards. They are everywhere.

New York just missed out. It's herd is estimated at 900K.
@@DDHONLINEthat’s crazy, and we only take about 170k per year estimated. We’ll be over a million in no time, which is good for hunters. I’d rather have too many than not enough
IOWA
not close according to this account but I know for a fact that the Iowa DNR can only count to 20 and there are around 50,000 does that have triplets
@@danthurman9076There is an 8 point buck that legitimately just runs through my city like he owns it 😂
I’ve heard people travel from across the world specifically to hunt bucks here. I don’t know much about that but I would believe it. Deer are everywhere, you’ll be lucky if you can go 20 miles without seeing 10 females scattered somewhere.
@@User_1dashzero The deer adapt, they love living in the city and eating out of gardens like it's a smorgasbord. One of the largest bucks I know of lived in the city until he was hit by a truck, his name is the Water Truck Buck.
Crazy to see Mississippi so high. Hunted there my whole life and we can sometimes go over a month without seeing a single deer. But any time I go to any midwest state, there are heards of deer everywhere
How many hunters in each state? In Wisconsin in 2023 there were about 775,000 licenses sold less than the numbers in 2022. So the more hunters the less deer now go back decades. So which states would have the most if you took out the hunters?
Ever wonder who the states send out to count them😂 I'm sure this is completely accurate
This is part of a game wardens job.
Its a study they've been doing for 30 years so I'd say its pretty accurate
They use IR camera’s attached to drones and fly them over the area studied in a grid pattern
Hunters. And a lot of people don't report their kills so that's why it's so inaccurate
Baby whitetail! Being from Minnesota i was so weirded out to see how tiny southern deer are. Ours are damn near cows. 😆
but ours got their mass put somewhere else😂😂😂 the racks are giant, everytime I sit during hog hunting I see mainly 10-15 points
@@Lathammoenidk about you but I ain't eatin deer racks.
@Lathammoenwow I mainly see 11-16 pointers while hot hunting.
Really Need To Divide The Total Number Of White Tails By Total Area Of The State.
Also Add Astericks For Same Totals/Area For Mule Deer, Blacktail, Elk, Pronghorn Etc..
Alabama and Mississippi have the highest population density
How many is that on private property where you have to pay to hunt
Where did we get this silhouette of Texas!?
Mississippi is the sleeper. We are #1 per square mile. We grow big bucks because our terrain is thick and hills are knarly. Bama can't compete.
Illinois deer are bigger.
Only because of the cooler summer. Mississippi summer is sweltering. Our spring is usually about three weeks and straight into summer.
@@ronniejohnson317 We just 90 degrees today for the first time. Our rut is spread out over months and these bucks turn nocturnal quick. We grow big bucks because they aren't usually standing around in fields.👍
Sounds like shit talking to me
@@garyrhodes5403 Google it.
Tasty critters...
Canned deer meat. Yum
What ranked is Tennessee?😊
Who's counting the deer and how do I get that job?
Whats the number of deer per square mile? TX has a huge land area footprint comparatively to the others. Kinda not apples to apples IMO.
Dang i live in Tennessee and herds of deer basically live inside every neighborhood i go into...they arent even afraid of people anymore.
I went mule deer hunting in Oregon last week and we saw 15 deer on private property 8 antelope on private property and 1 bunny rabbit. And it was a perfect place it had food water and shelter. Out of all the people there only one person got anything.
Question does hunting a lot affect the population majorly for deer
Wear is Florida on the list just curious cause I live and hunt hear
I wish they would've included population per acre or per square mile as well. I'm from TX and grew up hunting there so I'm happy to see it's number 1 but it is so much bigger than other states id like to see where they are the most densely populated as well.
we do have a lot in MS but the bigger ones are hard to come by sometimes
Where did you get your shapes for the states?😂
No Georgia or fl?
Texas is the size of how many states?
Western Pennsylvania, Beaver county to be exact was the most incredible deer hunting I ever experienced.
I saw a 400# buck with my father in law in his farm.
It got flushed out of its lair by a pack of domestic dogs that were trailing him .
The old not typical monster did not seem too concerned cause he stopped to look at us.
Probably the first humans he’d ever seen .
PA was crazy during the rut…if you made it without hitting a air born deer jumping the highways or secondary roads you got lucky.
I let my boss who was from Texas hunt my property up there and he never saw anything like that in Texas.
He bagged a very impressive 11 point the first day I set him loose in there.
It piled up 20’ from his Jeep.
He brought it to work to show me as I was working that Saturday.
Washington used to have tons here, but when I was little in 2008 we had the bad winter that killed em off, then a couple years late blue tongue killed em off. We used to have herds of them everywhere. Still plenty but lost 80%!
Exactly who went out and counted every deer in each State and how was it done.
As a lifelong Mochigander before moving to Kentucky, your best hunting weapon was your 🚗 and you weren't hunting. 😂
Hey we may not have a ton here in VA but we have some absolute giants in the mountains here
I got my first deer in Mississippi, I will never forget that moment.
In 1930s my county in Missouri was estimated to not have any deer at all. No neighboring counties had any either. Now we take thousands here each year
New York deer population is said to be 1.273 million deer according to DEC that was 2023 and we had a week winter so I would assume the number to be high this year. And in the Adirondack area whitetails can weigh as much as 300 lbs
Sit down
You also have to look at how much land is in each state and divide every acre by how many deer there are based on that to see what the actual numbers are
Who else thought the deer on the cover had a pair of black knickers stuck in his antlers?
I love PA where my family is from i got my first buck last year on thanksgiving nice 8 pointer and i cant wait to go hunting again in a few weeks with my uncle and cousin and hopefully get another one 😊
Do they just go around counting every individual deer?
When I first started bow hunting in 1986 there were only estimated 450,000 deer in Missouri. That’s crazy to think about. Texas had a million deer.
Good to see Wisconsin made it on the list
Ya they are like pest up there
@@notlohhcaz that’s for sure I’m going to be taking a lot of the does that come across my path there to many does
According to my observation this year, there are only 7 deer in Vermont and none in my county.
Numbers don't always mean quality. There's big deer in Texas, sure, however, most Texas deer are skinny, overpopulated and unhuntable. Sometimes, I'll see herds of doe's that literally look like small skinny dogs.
I lived in TX for a while. There are tons of deer there, but they're also tiny compared to the ones in Maine where I'm from originally. I never checked the numbers, but I'd say like half the weight. Or close to it.
What about density ?
Montana should've been up there. when I was younger I would spend summers with my aunt and uncle there, couldn't go around a corner without seeing several
I didn't realize the states could get the deer to cooperate to fill out census reports.
I live in NC and between my wife and I we had 5 deer car collisions this year. Totaled one car
Who counted all those deers ? .
Would be cool to see a size comparison from say a Louisiana whitetail and one of those Alberta bucks that might just be half moose.
Michigan deer hunting is nothing short of an amazing time. So beautiful the further north you go
I'm surprised Tennessee didn't make the list. I live in the northeast section, and our deer are everywhere. If you go out intontown at night (1-4am) you will see herds of them standing in parking lots and people's yards.
They are everywhere.
Live in PA, and it seems like most of those PA deer eat from my garden.
Illinois has some monsters. Speeding right now as the corn is being taken down is a GREAT way to get a claim. Just saw a buck on the side of the road yesterday.
Deer here in Texas only start getting chunky when the acorns fall. Probably their highest protein intake all year.
So youre telling me TN's surrounding neighbors are all in the top 10 but not TN itself? Im gonna need these deer to migrate lol
Why isn't Venison in grocery stores?
This should be done by state size and taking into consideration the amount of hunters registered in each state.
