[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5451769, member: 17"] Deer density is around 25 per square mile. But you have to remember that's a snapshot in time average. Deer move around, and bucks move around a lot, especially as the rut approaches. Many [B]MANY[/B] more deer than the density suggests will cross a given area over a 6-month span of time (which is how long I run my census: Aug. 1 to Jan. 10 each year). This is something I have to constantly explain to those running camera censuses. The longer the census is run, the more unique deer will cross the property at some point and be included in the census. This can produce some crazy-high deer density numbers. For example, over a 6-month period, census density for my property can exceed 200 deer per square mile, more than 8 times higher than the real average density. [/QUOTE]
