Whitetail Deer
The beauty and grace of the elusive Whitetail fascinated the Natives and Europeans alike. Before the first settlers arrived, an estimated 30 million whitetails inhabited what is now the United States and Canada. But as settlers pursued them for food and market hunters slaughtered them with snares, traps and set guns, the deer population underwent a disastrous decline. By 1900, only 400,000 deer remained. What happened since 1900, however, is perhaps the most dramatic success story in conservation history. Through a massive cooperative effort by concerned sportsmen and wildlife managers, market hunting was outlawed, sport-hunting regulations established, and habitat improvement programs initiated. These efforts have rebuilt the deer population to +30 million.
