The problem with your theories and counting of the deer population in most of northern Wisconsin and Michigan, at least in the area that our group hunts is that most of the land is federally and state owned forest land. Over the past two seasons in the woods our camp of three has seen a total of 7 deer. Not very encouraging. And yes we do go into the woods and hunt. Not only that but 3 of the deer were seen and counted as such by all three members of our hunting party. To "assume" that they are different deer on a 40 acre parcel is foolish. Even if you hunt different areas of the 40, deer still travel to eat and sleep.
