I’m interested in this thread also, so consider our place, described as follows:
- 500 ac
- 60/40 hardwoods and various ages of planted pine
- Hardwoods feature lots of mature oaks, especially white oaks
- At least 20 percent of property features can’t-walk-through-it young pine growth
- Several small ponds and two creeks
- No pasture
- Eight 1-4 acre food plots
- surrounded by hunting clubs that we believe manage similar to us...try to get to buck’s fourth year; spread outside the ears; 8 pts or better
ETA: how many total deer would you expect to harvest per year given this set up?

It is a lot easier to account for your doe population, than it would be to account for your bucks. I’d say you have an estimated doe/fawn/yearling/young buck population of 25/35, and 2/3 mature bucks. That’s not to say there are another 20/30 deer that move in and out.

Looks like the other poster gave you an estimate on your population.
You need to kill about 1/3 of those to maintain the current population.
