there is no compulsary reporting of deer that I know of in BC, so no. That being said you could do that for some species in BC that have 100% inspection/reporting I would guess

About 15 Years ago I meet a couple guys in a northern logging camp, they traveled around doing counts of all types of animals in certain areas. Mainly moose, G bears, wolverines and such, but they also knew where the best concentrations were of different animals. We were having coffee and I passed him my back roads map book and he marked out some great areas for me for moose , and he was right on the money. So I am sure they know what the population is like, but maybe not the harvest rates

That includes deer. Last year I e-mailed F&W and they sent back a giant Excel spreadsheet of all the harvest data.

you can call the wildlife bio in the area you want to hunt they can be quite helpful and informative on occassion
