I stopped counting at around 30
Pretty much this. At Big Rack near Newellton during a hard freeze. The deer did not want to cross ice, and I was at the tip of a frozen slough.

A bunch. We have a company lease in Freer, Tx that's 100,000 acres high fence. As soon as they drop you off at a stand and drive off and throw with the feeder mounted on the front of the truck, the deer immediately come out of the brush and start feeding. I'd guess maybe 40 or 50 was the most I've seen. I don't consider that "real" hunting.

The most I've seen in Louisiana was probably last year opening day, which was about 20 total crossing a pipeline.

The area that I grew up hunting didn't have many deer. You could go several hunts without seeing a single deer.

The first time I went hunting with my GF (now wife) in college on some family land, we had 40+ deer out in a big arse food plot at once. I remember thinking "damn, I didn't know this was possible". Ended up killing a lot of deer at that place.

I have had about 60+ animals (whitetail, axis deer) around me at onetime on a free range hunt in west texas. All within about 70 yds (some right under me in 12ft in a mesquite tree).

Good times.

When we were hunting in West Texas there was one year where there would be 150+ deer and another 50-100 hogs in an 80 acre winter wheat field every day late in the season. A lot of the does would never leave the field. They would just bed down in the middle of it and there was a small tank in the middle for water.

Saw 10-15 while hunting in Claiborne Parish several years ago. I saw that many yesterday in one lane putting out corn on a piece of property I bought this year. I'm stoked to say the least!

I’ve been deer hunting public land in LA the past three seasons and the majority of hunts I don’t see anything. Most deer sightings in one hunt would be 3-4 which happened twice I think.

Outside Mitchell, OR.....couple hundred mule deer in a day many times. They feed on the ranchers crops although the big boys are up high on rocky terrain during the season.

Several different hunts in the Midwest where I’ve seen 50-75 in a field at the same time.

One hunt out of Leakey,TX was pretty incredible back in 2006.i was working in San Antonio and went with a customer to his ranch for a weekend. Fog set in before daylight and I was hunting in a large field. I kept seeing spots everywhere as the sun was coming up. The more light I that came, the more I could tell it was deer everywhere. No telling how many they had there. I killed a cull 8 and nice axis within the first hour of daylight. We went in to kill a dozen or so hogs the rest of the trip.
