What's New

Public Lands now shows what the state reports for each unit, not just where the birds are roosting.

Spring turkey. See how many turkeys the state reported for each refuge, WMA and game land, ranked against the rest of the state, with season dates and brood surveys. Available in 16 states, from North Carolina and Florida to Oklahoma, Georgia and Iowa.

Deer. The same for deer harvest, plus the counties where chronic wasting disease has been found in wild deer. Available in 18 states. Where a state only reports deer by county, units show their county's number, clearly marked as the county's figure and not the unit's.

Tap a unit on the map and you'll see both on its card, along with the agency each number came from.

This is a Premium feature. Free accounts see the tabs and a lock. Open Public Lands, pick a state, and choose Spring turkey or Deer.

These are the harvest figures the state agencies publish. Hunting pressure and how many hunters report affect them as much as the number of animals, so treat the ranking as a lead, not a promise.

Check the states before you post. I counted 16 turkey states and 18 deer states from the code, not from the live site, and I included the 11 county-level states. If the "18" looks wrong to you, say "in 18 states" or just "in most of the eastern and central states".
