Hundreds of deer total but VERY few mature bucks and even less bucks that are both mature and high scoring.

On our GA property when they are travelling during the rut you might see 8-12 bucks in a day and maybe 10-15 does/yearlings.
We have one community scrape that has been active for last 10-12 year, we set a camera up on every year and we can have 20 different bucks using it during the week. 10% are regulars and the others just pass through once.
Property is on a river so that contibutes as a great travel corridor for bucks.

I really have no idea. I saw deer quite a few times, but still a lot of no show sits, or way off glimpses. I did let more small deer walk than ever before…..rewarded but still torn on whether or not it was a good idea. I really like the bow hunting more than anything.
Around here, if I see three or four deer after hunting hard every day in our three-week season, it was a good one. Some years, half that. I have hunted in other places where I expected to see deer every sit.

What do you make of the low population in terms of should it be higher? Can it be higher? Will it get higher?

I keep a log every year. This year I quit counting at 125 mid December. Many of those I imagine were the same deer, but I just count sightings while on stand. I saw 19 different bucks this year, saw many of them multiple times. It was a good year in OC. Finally see the deer herd stabilize after deer numbers had dwindled last 10 years or so. Thankfully the clubs around me no longer blast every doe they see and are trying to better manage their properties.
Maybe 70 but they were the same 10-15 deer.

This is a great question and having no clue kinda erks me. I’m gonna try and tally next year.
I’m gonna try the same thing . Also see actually how many times I hunt . But I’ll only share here

I hunted in Arkansas, Georgia, SC, and Kentucky
That being said, 257 of those sightings came from GA

150-200 I'd guess? While running dogs you'll see 15-20 deer or more a day frequently, but I rarely see double digits in the stand.
Exactly. This is my conclusion as well.

No clue.
Always think about keeping tabs but I never do.

Never, ever tried to keep track. I know I saw about 30 to 40 different bucks this season. Shot the 2 bucks I wanted. I spend as much time scanning tree lines riding the road as I do in the stand. I just love seeing Deer. Not to sure about how many I see behind the house from my desk.
