There are records maintained on a state-by-state basis of deer taken by hunters- and typically the numbers are in the hundreds of thousands for each state. The total harvest of deer by hunters in the entire US would be in the millions. In addition, millions of deer die each year due to traffic accidents, disease, predators and starvation- many more than are taken by hunters.

The deer population of my home had increased sharply 3 years ago- with the result that an illness known as Chronic Wasting Disease infected the deer population, and thousands died within a few months.

To previous posters- I would point out that the majority of all funds to manage and improve wildlife come from the fees paid by hunters.

According to a report from the CDC: "During 1989-1995, a total of 508 hunting-associated firearm injuries were reported to DEC, representing an annual mean rate of 9.8 injuries per 100,000 licensed hunters. Of these 508 injuries, 39 (8%) were fatal, 152 (30%) involved one person, and 356 (70%) involved two persons (rate: 6.9). Of the 39 fatal injuries, 31 (79%) were two-party incidents." http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/00044112.htm To provide a more useful answer, not many. The above figures are for the state of New York, but can be used to provide a rough estimate nationally. Please bear it in mind that that was 39 deaths out of 508 injuries over the course of 5-6 years. Hunting is one of the safer sports out there.

Deer are hit by cars with an estimated statistic of 1.5 million times each year from 200,000 around 25 years ago in the US. These events kill millions of deer, thousands of motorists and over a billion dollar insurance cost from insurance companies.
