Here is the information you asked for.
UTAH BIG GAME
ANNUAL REPORT
2009
http://wildlife.utah.gov/dwr/hunting/hunting-information/big-game.html
Go to page 12
2010 there were 18,967 bucks killed by hunters (not does and bucks, just bucks)
Go to page 46
DWR's estimated number of deer in Utah 293,700
Divide 293,700 by 18,967 and you get a factor number of 15.48
In 1983 they did not try to estimate the total number of deer in Utah, most likely because we had plenty. So we have to calculate the total, the same why the DWR does it now.
Go back to page 12
In 1983 there were 82,552 bucks killed by hunters.
Multiply the factor number of 15.48 by 82,552 and what is that number?
It's 1,277,904
The game big biologist from Utah said in the Dec 3, 2010 board meeting that this is how the DWR determines the number of deer in Utah but things were different in 1983 so we can't go by the logic they use today to calculate the totals back in 1983.
You decide.
