This State Has the Most Deer in America

It is estimated that there are between 35 and 36 million deer in the U.S. today.

Previously on the brink of extinction due to overhunting, deer populations have now robustly rebounded. In certain areas, they are so abundant that regulated hunting is necessary to maintain ecological balance. Deer are a popular target among big game hunters, and most states implement annual hunting seasons to manage their numbers.

For wildlife enthusiasts, deer are a common sight, offering ample opportunities for observation in the nation’s forests and parks.
