Possibly that came out wrong and its not what he meant to say, but on face value alone I don't know how I could agree with that. To me "numbers" mean the amount of deer that are around, not the amount you are seeing or the amount that are killed. If there are lots of tracks then you probably have healthy deer population, if you are having trouble finding them during legal light that doesn't mean that they aren't there, and it doesn't mean that "numbers are down".
I hunted a pretty good chunk of northern Alberta this season and game numbers were good everywhere I went. Conditions weren't always ideal and sometimes I had trouble connecting, but so long as I looked hard enough the animals were definitely there and doing well.
