EHD effecting deer numbers?
There are many reports of EHD deaths all around our state of Kentucky at this time. I know that our deer numbers are lower than last year and it is looking like it might be a tough task to get one down unless the rut gets them moving more. I hunted yesterday and was really bothered by the lack of sign and zero deer sighting. Weather could have been a small factor but I know that dead deer are being found with no signs of cause.

Lee found a deer graveyard near a water source Saturday, which included one of our biggest hit list bucks. Man that sucks!

I drove an area today that was over 80 miles of 4 lane that use to be covered with deer laying that had been hit. Today not one single deer either morning or till now. I just found it sad we didn't see one deer alive or dead on the section of road.

Not sure if it got any where I hunt, I've had a hip problem and haven't been scouting the creek like I normally do.
The harvest statistics for Ohio indicate my county is down 12% this year and the entire state harvest is down 40% so far.
I do know I haven't seen many does & fawns this year. So far I've got pics of 3 or 4 different does at the feeder and probably 8 or 10 different bucks. Only 4 or 5 fawns have shown up. One doe with twin fawns shows regularly, but all the rest have been random sightings.
Not even close to the numbers that usually show.
