This has been a big debate on here recently. Bill Winke had a biologist come out and survey his ground. The biologist said winkes farm is considered some of the best possible deer habitat based upon 75%cover to 25%ag and the improvements he has made. The biologist found that Winkes deer density was around 90 per sq mile in January.(Winke estimates 75 during the season) He also said that this would be an extreme number for most any other area in Iowa to hold on a regular basis. He never actually said what one should expect but he made it clear that others should not expect a number close to this. Interesting that the biologist says those numbers are too high to support yet admittedly Winke had said previously he had nearly double that number 5 years ago.
