Deer Kill Data

The cornerstone of Virginia’s deer management program is the big game harvest reporting system, which allows the Department to effectively monitor the annual deer kill on a county basis. By law, each successful deer hunter is required to report every deer killed. Information regarding the animal’s sex, date of kill, weapon, and county of kill is recorded. Results of the annual deer kill are typically available about one month after the close of the season. In contrast to many states that estimate their annual deer kill, Virginia’s deer kill figures represent an actual known minimum count. The harvest reporting system provides deer kill figures that the public understands and has confidence in.

Note: Deer kill data for the current year is preliminary and does not include deer killed during the late urban archery or special late antlerless only deer seasons.
