While whitetail numbers are still low, theres a positive trend in central and western areas. Mule deer saw a 31% increase, thanks to favorable conditions last year. Private land initiatives and habitat improvements are crucial for deer recovery. A new rule limits nonresident bow hunters to private land for the first nine and a half days of the season.
