How the Deer Flow Index works

Each analyzed parcel earns a 0–100 Deer Flow Index — 50% terrain/huntability score, 20% travel-corridor density, 20% funnel density, and 10% intercept-zone density. We roll those parcels up to a county tier on our Green / Blue / Black scale — Elite and Premium counties earn the black-diamond mark, while the 0–100 index stays visible on every card. To keep the leaderboard honest, counties with only a handful of analyzed parcels are pulled toward the statewide average and flagged Limited data — so a county can't top the board on the strength of a single parcel. The more ground we've actually run through Terrain Brain in a county, the more its own score stands on its own. County is the finest location we ever publish — exact parcels stay private.
