    2025 EHD?

    i'm somewhat confused on the whole EHD thing. It's terrible don't get me wrong. But lets say there's been 1000 deer died from it in my county, Washington.

    2025 2026 Goals thread

    This year hoping to get both my girls on a deer. Also planning to hunt some in WV and this will be my 3rd season as a trad hunter so it would be nice to catch up with the buck i hit last year and hopefully fill buck tags in both states. Seems reasonable to me lol.

    Got him.

    3rd time out was a charm. I called a group of 6 Jakes in yesterday and maybe this bird. He snuck in with the wet leaves and caught me moving my muzzle to him at 25yds.

    Muzzie buck

    I'll start by saying this was not a target buck, but have literally hunted more and harder this year than I ever have. In fact it was the worst year I remember lol. Until this muzzleloader came in. This has been the best and worst muzzie I think I ever had. I saw more deer and bigger deer than...
