Im smelling death

[JCDEERMAN]

I've never seen anything like I did in 2007. We has a touch of it in 2012 ans 2019. but it's was a tiny percentage compared to 2007.

2019 wiped us out just like 2007 in my area. Just now seeing the rebound

In East Tn, EHD decimated the herd in 2017 North of I40 particularly in the mountainous areas. Most have not recovered to this day.

2017 was bad on the plateau

I think it was either 2012 or 2013 that it bad around my area. Some people were finding bucks that were mature with really good racks.

The same deerhunter10. 2007 was the EHD outbreak from Hell. Changed everything.

We had the illness in my area in 2019, but we didn't see a lot of deaths. Just a lot of limping deer from sloughing hooves.

2017 was bad on the plateau

In my two hunting areas in Morgan/Scott counties we lost 2/3-3/4 of the herd. The herds are recovering albeit slowly. I have imposed a no doe shooting policy on myself.

The increase in bear, hog, and coyote populations are keeping our fawn recriutment low. I would like to see increased opportunities on bears.

The state in its infinite wisdom has kept the antlerless bag limits too high in our area. There should be no antlerless deer taken with a modern gun and maybe one allowed with a muzzleloader.

Protect the does and the herd will grow!

Pretty bad right now:

If you had a north wind, you could drop a match at the top of the Sequatchie Valley and it would burn to the Alabama line.

I nearly got stuck in dust the other day.

Our deer seem to be acting normal. I'm hoping my pond is helping them. I'm assuming it's spring fed because it hasn't dried up.

You're exactly right. I'm sure someone from over around Knoxville or Nashville will correct you though
