Rhode Island Deer Hunting by County

Rhode Island reports its deer harvest by management unit rather than by county, so county-level harvest totals aren't available here. Public land and terrain are still broken out by county below.

See Rhode Island season dates or the Rhode Island wildlife agency for unit-level harvest data.
