How Many?

If you hang around with deer hunters long enough you'll get all sorts of unsolicited feedback about deer numbers.  Some hunters (like me) think there are too many deer. and would prefer to see a smaller deer population  Other hunters (like Governor Walker) complain that they don't see enough deer and they prefer a deer behind every tree.

And most hunters agree that the DNR's deer estimates are either too high or too low.

Seriously, unless you were to walk around with a clipboard actually conducting a census of the whitetail population the best you can do is make an educated guess.  Yup.  A guesstimate. 

How many deer do you count in this picture?
