Im smelling death

[348Winchester]

2017 Both deer I killed that year had sorry looking hooves. I saw one good buck with what I call a Bullwinkle style rack who was walking so slowly. I felt bad for him. His Hooves must have been causing him incredible pain.

Did you cash him out?

Seen a bunch dead in 2017 in N east TN. But in 2007 it was very widespread. 2017 it was just in pockets. Haven't found any yet this year. But I was seeing well into hunting season in 2017 with the disease standing in the creek bottoms. And wouldn't move an inch.

My red tick has dragged home two deer carcasses in the last two weeks. I'm not sure what's going on here. Southeast tn

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

It wouldn't bother me 1 bit if they shut doe harvest down completely for 5 or 6 years, all these bow hunters that like to watch them flop and donate them instead of eating them could stop also. Be several lost in the rain this weekend as folks don't much care if they loose a doe due to rain, I reckon some property's it might be hard to loose 1 even if they run a couple hundred yards but that's not the normal.

No he was almost by me before I saw him and my first thought was I just dropped one off at the processor the day before, a buck. I wasn't ready to end my buck hunting for that year.
