I haven’t found them yet but I don’t think a single one of these bucks is left alive in noble. Just going to be a deer watching season for me
 
I see Gallia has some confirmed deaths now. It looks like Lawrence has a few too. I wonder how hard Gallia and Lawrence counties will get hit. It is probably hard to track deaths in those counties with all the national forest. Any word?
 
View attachment 212437This doe layed in front of the camera for several hours last week. Her fawn would walk up to her several times and she wouldnt move.raised her head a few times she looked pretty sick. This will be 3 out of last 4 years we have been hit with ehd. Hoping it's not too bad this time around.
I was hoping things were settling down and new cases were going down. Guess not. My buddy in Meigs Co. hasn't been finding any new dead ones but he's also not seeing deer at all anymore. Was watching a bean field for a good while almost daily and only had two fawns coming out in it, eventually they disappeared as well.
 
Just curious- am i the only one who is pissed no agency or group is doing anything about a long term, or even short term, address of EHD? Have heard "ma nature is trimming the herd" "because of baiting" "non-residents" and all this horsechit but this is smashing deer alll over the US (we just happened to get the ProBowl bug presence) and we hear about CWD, too many does, hunter numbers and whatever these agencies- be it state or their pets like the NDA) just not give a dam.
 
This video just popped up on the ol’ YouTube. No staggering new info based on his recap of the meeting but a decent watch, it was nice to hear they had a larger turnout than expected and hopefully some of their voices and ideas were heard.

Per Mike Rex; Jesse did an outstanding job of articulating his points. Well done, Jesse!
