Seems like every deer in Orange County is dead from EHD........have not seen deer in any fields, yards, etc. Is anyone else experiencing this.....
-
Im hearing that from a lot of people down there
-
It's pretty bleak where I hunt in Town of Newburgh, at least 18 found dead on a few hundred acres. The place I hunt in Illinois got hit with it back in 2011, took 4-5yrs for the herd to recover. It's pretty discouraging.
-
Not every deer, but EHD took its toll on deer heard. I've seen deer on almost all of my sits,but certainly not what i have saw in the past.
-
What I don’t understand is why are they still giving out doe tags for 3m? Doesn’t make sense to me
-
Probably make an adjustment after this season’s numbers come in for next season get ready for possibly very low or none next season

I agree. Makes no sense to me either. My two 3m tags are in the garbage.

My daughter just got 2 3m doe tags last week.. I would normally give them to some friends but not this year same here going in the trash.

Ron i have a 3j tag if you or Taylor can use it? I have a 3C and my bow/muzzy antler less tags still so won't use the 3j.

I have a 3j but thanks for the offer. (beers)
-
Orange County is only mostly dead. There’s a big difference between mostly dead and all dead.
-
True........i am amazed at how there are no deer in the fields at 430......no deer running with the rut.......literally there are no deer anywhere in Orange.......a doe here and there but that is it
-
I was told DEC gave second round of tag because most of the deer that died from EHD were bucks. The thinking was with the excess doe that didn't die during the rug the bucks would run themselves to death chasing the does. Dunno how true it is but that was how it was explained to me. 🤷♂️
-
Wouldn't put much stock in that. A friend picked up about 30 deer from peoples yards (not car kills) and said maybe 10 of 30 were bucks.
-
I actually think, the bigger bucks had a better chance of survival, because they tend to keep away from the rest of the herd. Social distancing.. I know one place, where the only deer to make it,was an old buck, but pretty much all the other deer in that section died.
-
In my area i believe that the older bucks and older does took it the hardest......i found all big bucks and the only deer left are yearlings
-
Seen 19 deer opening day 9 which were bucks and ten the next day couldn't get them in close enough. the following week saw ten and dropped a spike. all in the 3M area.
