DEER
2019 FORECAST
Hunters can expect good success in 2019. Buck age structure is at an all-time high with 52 percent of mule deer
and 37 percent of whitetails aged 3 or older during the 2018 November Firearm Season. Many units have
increased or expanded antlerless opportunity since both whitetail and mule deer populations are above or near
desired levels in those units.
