I would throw out number of around 500,000 to 550,000. Would be my guess.

Current reported deer harvest:
125,045

The numbers will really start to slow down now that the statewide season is over. The remaining season is in the “Deer Reduction Zones” until January 31st. For information on this zones and for up to date harvest numbers see - www.in.gov/dnr/fishwild/8367.htm

Of the deer harvested during hunting season, what is the speculated percentage of overall population? ...1/3? Man that is an extremely impossible thing to answer with certainity. However just judging the herds I watch and know the area and typical harvest numbers I'd say a 25% to 40% depending on the year and the area. With 1 or 2 fawns to a typical doe that got bred, deer truly do re-populate rather rapidly, so long as natural illnesses like EHD don't strike the herd or fawns die do to predators at an alarming rate higher than normal.

Male deer or antlered deer?
Both very slightly up. Slightly.

If you break it down Buck vs Doe then Button Bucks count as Bucks If you break it down Antlered vs Antlerless then Button Bucks count as Antlerless. So I assume your saying the Buck/Antlered will be slightly up!!! At the current time the complete overall Harvest is up 4.1% compared to last year Harvest.

I'm saying antlered deer up slightly as well as button bucks up slightly.
Complete guess....

Only 15,000 more come on drz hunters, get to work! There has been only 45 deer checked in since Wednesday morning. Not sure why they are even having this late deer reduction zone season? Of course the naysayers are probably saying there are no deer left to shoot. .
