2025 EHD?

The antlered doe we had on cam didnt survive the epidemic. Drove my usual loop and smelled death all 3 times I was at a creek crossing. Not a buck to be seen and we saw a fraction of the deer that I usually see on that drive. The local "What's Happening" page on FB is full of reports of dead deer. It's not looking good fellas.

Going thru this multiple times will change a fella. Very obvious that nature doesn't want the same deer on the land that I do. This is just a huge waste. Other animals dont even eat them. (That part throws my tin foil for a loop) Just a big waste and it bothers me. So I hunt different than I used to.

Not a buzzard in the sky. Super weird...

It's a weird thing. We got nailed several years ago. Drive 5-10 miles any direction and they had none. It was like they were consolidated in a 5 mile radius that happened to be my core area. Sorry to hear you guys are dealing with it this year. It sucks.

Hate to hear it. Mrex told me it started Fourth of July in his neighborhood. As you may recall that area got hammered in 2022. Sure feels like a here we go again situation.
