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.
