At the time, we had never seen another one like it. Once these were posted by photographer on social media we did see a local fab. company replicate. Share the photos if you get them done, trades are worthy of celebrating no different than athletic accolades which are often focused on.

My sons Senior Pics last year, the only thing he's ever been passionate about

I had mentioned it before, but, Indiana did a mid season reprint and revision of antlerless quotas a couple years back when we were hit hard and kept them reduced for two years following. It seems like common sense to me that Ohio would do the same.

It always seems to be more severe in pockets. I presume weather patterns/herd dynamics come in to play along with areas the midges were also concentrated for whatever reason. Just guesses though.

Looks like map is now populated as of 8/12

I know this gathering isn't really about hunting, however, is EHD impacting this area badly?

Few years ago when there was EHD outbreak in my area of Indiana I will say our DNR reacted & reduced bonus antlerless quotas within the affected counties. We have a up to date map on their website as well, they do not wait until Sept to populate and share the information.

I haven't been able to locate a map for EHD/Ohio, what all regions/counties are currently impacted?

Need a new camp LOL

Oh I kill multiple every year, that isn't a question, what I do is change regions/locations and allow the herd to recover where the problem was observed.

My main property and hunting area was hammered three years ago, we are just now starting to recover in my mind. Found 18 on under 200 acres and for sure missed some others that I smelled. Ended up finding 3 mature bucks couple smaller ones rest were all does. One thing I can say, it seemed like...

Pull the camera and abandon the area forever!

I do believe you must first harvest a antlerless on metro hunts prior to a buck, unlike the controlled state park hunts.

That is the plan!!! Family only eats venison as a red meat source, I always try to take as many does as I can from these types of scenarios over any local spots I hunt. That said, during the rut, I do struggle to take a doe not knowing what's behind her LOL
