Thanks for posting Bill.
Looking at the northern part of the map. A lot of towns/unorganized territories with no deer shot. Do you think there are no/few deer, or just nobody hunting there?

..or just not reporting the correct township or whatever those are.

Thats the 1st thing I noticed when I looked at the map. There must be over 2,000 square miles in that block of townships that doesn't have a single deer harvested.
I dont remember seeing it that empty before.

Let's take T11, R15 for example. 0 bucks killed. That's a pretty remote area. If there was a big sporting camp there with 20 hunters per week would the number be 10 there?
I will say that when I moose hunted around there in Z2 I did not see a single deer track anywhere all week.

I spent a pile of time in 9-3 and 9-4 and never cut a deer track. Not one
I also spent a week in a township with a 0 kill and saw 3 legal bucks (I was already tagged out). There were at least 6 other hunters in the general vicinity

I always presume that is the case at least in the areas surrounding some of the organized townships, ie Rangely, Eustis, etc.
Not sure about the vast blocks of unorganized territories.
Wow, State of Maine is on the ball this year, only 3 months behind NH instead of the normal 6! Thanks for posting, I would have bet anything we would have gone over 30k based on the amount of deer we saw, 2020 should be another good one given the last few winters.
I can never recall a year with so many big racks on small bodied deer and vice versa.

One of my buddies worked in that strip of 0 townships south of Allagash and out toward the Big Black. last year. Every day in the woods. Told us he saw something in the neighborhood of 5 deer for the year. Not much wood left there either
