Following the 2016 deer season, we sent 50,000 surveys to hunters (about 10% of our total deer hunters that received a firearms deer hunting permit during a the season.)

Here's the percentage of 2016 firearms deer hunter survey respondents that responded there are “too many”, “about right”, “too few”, or “no opinion” when asked about the number of deer in the county they hunt the most.
