Since 165 of the 330 he recaptured were tagged, that's 50%. Then the 889 he tagged must represent 50% of the total population, which is 2 x 889 = 1780 deer, about.
Reply:well as he only tags 165 of the 300, he will only have them in his preserve so you have to add 165 to 899 which is equal to 1064


he has 1064 deer :)
