EHD

[BuckSniper22]

Just checked the cam in the corner of my yard. I have 4 or 5 pics of a doe with tongue swollen hanging out of her mouth. Not sure if it’s EHD but it looks like it.   I’m retarded and can’t figure out how to post the pic.

Seems I'm late posting. Heck I talked to DEC today about touching the deer. He never said anything about this kind of numbers.

I haven’t found any dead deer personally, but driving by some areas close to where I live and hunt I have smelled dead animal quite a bit. I hope it doesn’t continue on for too much longer and stays away from some of the places I hunt. Very unfortunate, but not much we can do about it. Let’s just all hope for rain and a good frost!

Yup, frost is about all we can hope for. Good idea for hunters to make a quick run through water sources before the season. Goshen, to cold spring,  then up to fishkill, is where it seems heaviest to me. It seems mostly south of 84, but I know Walden and wallkill also have it, but don’t know the extent.

This alert just came across my phone

That frost would be great.

Found this one today. Looks old, but is from this year. It still had some velvet on one of its tines. Died Mid August if had to guess

[UCBowhunter]

im honestly  thinking of buying my license and staying home this year. As much as i love bowhunting the herd i feel took a hard hit with this.

your a good man but thats a little harsh .Everyone that got a doe permit should throw it in the woodstove .its only meat price chopper has plenty.Shoot those bears and yotes

Found 10-15 dead ones this weekend in Orange County not far from Stewart, only checked half the water holes on a 100 acre piece, wouldn't be surprised if there are 30-40 dead on this piece easy. Some I could smell and didn't bother looking for in the thick brush. Saw one 8pt hobbling around with that gut shot look. Then I talked to guy from Putnam who found 40-50 on a few parcels past few weeks.

Fostertown Road buck. Found a doe decaying near a old pump station just up the stream from this guy. Maggots in the water gave her away. Did kick up a sleeping doe seemed wobbly on her feet.

Report all the ones you come across to the DEC. Theres nothing they can do, but I think they’re just Now grasping the severity of the situation. Hopefully next year they’ll take it easy on the DMP’s because areas are going to need the herd rebuilt.

Another frost tonight for Walden area.

34* with frost this morning in my area, hopefully that will stop it 🤞 it’s really disturbing and sad to see.

[WEM144]

Yes i agree DXT.  This is devastating and sure hope the frost helps.

More bad news. Walked Stewart today and found 6 dead and one doe about to die. A friend that works for the parks dept, said bear mountain, Harriman and fahnestock are being affected. Also,  they just found one in crum elbow creek in Hyde park. Yesterday Clintondale..
