Turn scouting season into science. We're in the second and final month of Deer Spy for the 2026 season, and September is an opportunity to contribute to deer management before the hunting season even gets started. From twins and triplets to solo does and a buck for good luck, every deer observation in Maine counts!
You watch the deer, and we'll crunch the numbers. Deal?
All you have to do is keep your eyes open for deer anywhere in Maine through September 30, then report any you spot using our quick and easy online form including:
Location
Date and time
The number of bucks, does, and fawns
Our biologists will take it from there. They'll compile and analyze Deer Spy observations alongside other datasets to learn about Maine's white-tailed deer population then apply appropriate management strategies for a healthy and sustainable population.
