Won’t know until reporting is done on how bad wide spread EHD is in wmu 69 and may not really know we are loaded with coyotes so bad in this wmu they would be just feeding on the deer I thought never see this in my life so sad my guess the doe tags will be cut big time for next year
One thing i do not understand-why EHD did not wipe out all the whitetail down south?
Like-all experts say-this is a disease controlled by frost and winter.Midgets die-virus dies.
There are MANY areas in the USA,have a whole lot milder climate then us. Deer flourishes there.
Am i missing something?
