High pop...I'd rather go for more excitement of seeing more deer. I don't care how big they are. Maybe I'll change my mind down the road.

If you just started Hunting i would go with the High population just 2 be able to learn deer behavior faster.If you have harvested several deer i would go with the Trophy spot there is nothing like finding were that Big boy is hanging out and geting him.

I'd go for low population but would expect to still get meat and see deer. Most of the places I normally hunt are not high population areas but I still bag a few. Of course, its awful nice to go to my buddies lease out west. Lots and lots of deer.

Well let's think about this for a minute.
There are 640 acres in one square mile.
That would mean there are five deer on that first300 acres.
That also means there are 15+ deer on the opposite 300 acres.
I would take the higherpopulation acreage.

If you are willing to go out and hunt for a week at a time and not see ANY deer, then go for the low density area.
However, you could go INSANE waiting and not seeing anything. Trust me - it's more fun to see deer, even if they are smaller.
Not only that, the best lure for a mature buck is does! So I'd take the area with the higher density because in reality that's probably where the big bucks are going to be during the rut looking for does.

I'd go with low.
Yeah it would suck to not see as many deer as I see now, but I have NO chance of killing a 140 at all where I hunt now. I'd like to at least have the chance....
