2025 EHD?

Last Sunday I was driving back from my parents on 71 South between Columbus and Cincinnati and I saw two small bucks just staring off on the side of road and that was like at 2pm. They looked sick and with malnutrition. Something definitely going on

When I was dealing with it, it was recommended to travel if I wanted to fill the freezer. Might be tough as widespread as this looks to be.
 
If the last 2 deer alive where on my hunting spot, I still wouldn't hold my kids back. This is a perfect example why passing isnt always the best option. This could be her last chance at ever killing a deer. You dont know what tomorrow brings. Have the conversation with them and let them decide. Be a great year to shoot a BB.

Meanwhile, our lovely ODNR is pushing management permits. 🤦‍♂️

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.
