The hunting season for white-tailed deer and roe deer in Finland concluded in mid-February, with a total of 67,152 white-tailed deer and 18,583 roe deer harvested across the country. Compared to the previous hunting season, the number of individuals of both species harvested fell by approximately 9%.

Over the last decade, the number of white-tailed deer harvested had increased significantly each year, more than tripling during that period.

In contrast, last season the number of white-tailed deer harvested fell by approximately 9%, with the total number of animals harvested being about 7,000 fewer than in the previous season.

The decline in hunting productivity is particularly visible in the border areas of the Satakunta, Northern and Southern Häme, and Southwest Finland wildlife management regions. It is believed that the white-tailed deer population in these areas has also decreased. In recent years, measures have been taken in the southwestern part of Finland to systematically reduce the deer population, primarily to avoid animal collisions with vehicles as much as possible.
