Deer Season Call-in Update #1

As of the deer registration call-in on 28 September, the reported archery deer harvest for 2025 was 1,484. Below is a county breakdown of reported deer registrations at this point in the season for the past 9 years. It is important to remember that these numbers are estimates based in part on the number of deer registered (not necessarily killed) in each county and may not represent information from all registration stations.

The 2025 reported kill increased 52% from 977 in 2024 to 1,484. This early in the season, numerous factors can influence the harvest including weather conditions (especially on weekends), hunter numbers, and mast availability. Harvests for the past several years have seen historically high levels, with 2022’s adult buck harvest the highest on record going back to 1922. Data from subsequent call-ins will provide additional information as the season progresses.

The next call-in is scheduled to occur on 19 October 2025 with the deer season update to follow.
