are whitetail deer endangered?

Answer 1

There are so many deer in Northern Minnesota where I live, we look at them like giant rats. Even considering the hundreds of thousands that are harvested every year, their numbers continue to increase. TRUE STORY: This year, the night before hunting opener, I went into town to gas up the pickup for morning. Standing at the stoplight, on the sidewalk, like they were waIting for the light to change, were SEVEN does and fawns. The only things endangered around here are the fruit trees in my yard.

Answer 2

Absolutely not, the single most significant event that has lead to the explosion of whitetail deer herds in the US... is the eradication of the screw worm fly in the late 50's/early 60/s. Before then, fawns had a 20% chance of survival. Now they have an 80% chance of survival. The only danger they face these days is automobiles on the highway.

Answer 3

only when im in the woods, haha just kidding

no they are not endangered by any means, most states in america have a huge population of whitetail and some are even over populated. they were threatened at one time but due to proper conservation and regulated hunting the whitetail has made a huge comeback over the last 20 years and now thrives all over north america.

Answer 4

No they aren't. If they were, would we be able to kill so many and there still be enough to run in front of cars in the road? lol. And why would there be a season to kill them if they were endangered, lol. They have an estimated population of about four million in the US and Canada. BUT! The columbia white-tailed deer is pending the Endangered Species Act. But most species are not endengered at all.

Answer 5

There are many times more whitetails in most of the US than at any time in history. Aggressive management has really paid off, especially considering the low cost of the hunting licenses and firearms-related taxes that go into the programs.

Answer 6

Not here. In Montana, each hunter was able to purchase 3 "over the counter tags" for either sex whitetails anywhere in the eastern 2/3 of the state. Most ranchers are willing to let nearly anyone on their lands to stop the herd from eating their cattle feed!

Answer 7

Not where I'm from thy aren't.There are so many around here that you have to drive VERY careful so as not to hit one.It's not uncommon to see over a hundred deer while hunting on a stand in the course of a season.

Answer 8

What???? are you serious????? They are thicker than rats in many places in the United States. That's almost as dumb as the tree huggers wanting to make Prairie Dogs an endangered specie a few years ago. I can show you prairie dog towns that have over a million prairie dogs in them. Get real people

Answer 9

had 4 in my backyard in West Bloomfield Michigan 2 days ago, I am new to this area, never seen one in the wild while living closer to the city, but when we go up to brother in laws cabin mid state Michigan, he can show me fields of 100 of them, I used to be SOMEWHAT against hunting, but I seen with my own eyes, herds of deers eating the guys crops. So I can understand why they view them as big rats and why they need population control, But I still watch them in amazement in my back yard.

I do believe they have different species of White Tail deer

Answer 10

The ones I see in hunting season are endangered, but there are millions more to take their place.
