Top 25 deer counties in VA, as per last season 2025

I downloaded this off the DWR site, and carefully updated an old Excel spreadsheet that I kept. Then I had Excel sort it for me (most deer harvests, down to almost none).

The top 25 counties in VA are seen below:

Thanks for sharing this, it is always interesting seeing the data laid out like that.

Thanks... There was a posting, I think on social media or somewhere, where a guy kind of knew a person within the Games & Fisheries (DWR) and asked about private land vs public land, harvests, (in relation to my original topic). Let's just say it blew me away - to put it mildly!!

IF YOU DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO PRIVATE LAND -- START KNOCKING ON DOORS!
PUBLIC LAND HARVEST IS LIKE WINNING THE MEGA MILLIONS!!

Absolute honest truth, from what I saw:
Augusta County: 5726
Private Land: 5440
Public Land (WMA/Nat'l Forest/State Forest): 286
