EHD

[striperman]

found this floating in the moose club pond yesterday.No signs of any wounds but the face was a mess and stunk real bad.

[Cwills]

Monroe, Chester, Goshen, Middletown areas all hit hard.  The woods smell of death in some swampy parts.  It’s bad.  Food plots had tons of deer in August and now are down to zero.

  found sunday in orchard up back here in new paltz   3 total that i found

[mardo]

3 dead deer, dead in a creek and pond...town of poughkeepsie.

Sucks. One was a good buck, a spike and a doe. One looks like its been dead for awhile, couple weeks at least.

Residents are reporting a lot of dead deer in Athens/Coxsackie. I haven't heard yet if it is EHD or simply the increased number of full time residents due to COVID simply noticing the usual deer deaths due to collisions, coyotes, etc.

EHD is running wild in our are. 25 dead deer in or along the creek from kidd lane in Tivoli to 9G.
 if you have water in your hunting area check it for dead deer & report it!
 845-256-3098 is dec wildlife#. Normally once they find it in an area they are not interested in collecting samples unless it is over 10 miles from existing case
With the doubling of doe permits & the record number of hunting licenses our deer population will be decimated for years.

Terrible. Almost to Columbia County now.  This thread is like mainstream media. I just can't read it anymore cause because just pisses me off.

Any reports of it in northern 3j and 3c Stone ridge/Kingston area? I'm definitely not seeing deer activity like I expected so far.

It’s Mother Nature doing her job the deer heard will be fine. We have plenty of deer here in the southern zone. We need to stop them from taking away the antler restriction areas the D.E.C.want’s to do away with it.

I was going to ask the same. I've seen nothing but promotion for it. It is mainly in areas with lower deer numbers

[walkabout]

Dont know where he gets his information..

[ole bleu]

Yes it is Jeremy Hurst our top DEC biologist says theres no need for it as most hunters are now doing this voluntarily this came from a report at our monthly gun club meeting as an update from the federation

[RD&SONS]

YES THEY ARE!!  I believe everybody on this website has heard of Jay Martin he is One of the individuals who got this antler restriction started he’s not happy!! he is heavily involved with the Federation we had a Gun Club meeting Tuesday night and he brought it up he would like everybody to contact the D.E.C. and tell them do not do this he has numbers and emails Who to contact he told me he would get hold of Ron and have him put it on the website also.
