The "rub" in the whole equation is the average number of deer killed per person . Which typically looks good .

But in a state like Virginia where a person can get ALOT of bonus tags etc . And then you figure the amount of hunters that "actually" killed deer the figures get skewed quite a bit . About 40% of the license holders actually kill all the deer . And generally of the 40 or so percent who actually tagged something about 1/10 of those were the major killers or harvestors .
