White-tailed deer hunting activity and harvest

This data breaks down estimated hunters as well as antlered, antlerless and total harvest numbers by:

  • wildlife management unit (WMU)
  • calendar year

Harvest and active hunter numbers are estimates based on replies received from a sample of resident hunters and are therefore subject to statistical error.

Additional technical and statistical notes can be found in the data dictionary.
