40/290 = 14%
Do y'all typically take about 40 deer per year ?

The number of tags he/she issues you is the number of deer you should harvest. Our only exception to the rule is if we pass on bucks to let them age.
Edit: I guess I'm not really answering your question. I'd have to find out what our total population is to give you an idea.Last edited by HoustonHunter; 10-02-2015, 08:14 AM.

I should be able to shed some more light on this later today. This will be our first year in MLD. Biologist promised to have harvest Reccomendations to us before bow season opened. Nothing like waiting to the last minute.
Going into our surveys we were told the target deer per acre number in our area is 1 deer to every 13 or 14 acres. Based on our survey data we are 1 deer to every 3 acres . Extremely anxious to see what he is going to suggest.
