herd on one of those deer shows that the DEER INDUSTRY in the state of texas is a 51 BILLION yes BILLION dollar industry that is just texas that is raisin pen deer guided hunts firearm sales ect ect didnt mention the rest of the country
COLUMBUS, Ohio — The state expects hunters with guns will bag up to 125,000 white-tailed deer during Ohio's nine-day hunt.
The season runs from Monday through Sunday and later resumes for two more days over the Dec. 18-19 weekend.
The Ohio Division of Wildlife estimates the state had a preseason deer population of 750,000 whitetails.
Officials say hunting is worth $859 million to Ohio's economy through related sales of equipment, fuel, food and lodging.
And if they bag the 125,000 as they predict, that still leaves an average of 7100 deer per County. We also have bow and musket (black powder) seasons, but I doubt they take that many more out of the fields. The deer populations seems too high to me.
