[QUOTE="Rosebud, post: 3094316, member: 118066"] You are correct, I've seen EHD wipe out deer on a wholesale basis around me! Had a trail cam picture of 37 deer in my back yard, three weeks later there are four. Dead deer found everywhere. Three very big healthy bucks, one nine point with a seven inch drop tine found in the creek four hundred yards away. Had a picture of him five days before looking very healthy. For what it's worth, the deer herd had gotten way over populated. Ten thousand acres that had been hunted for years was closed to hunting. Deer were pouring into everyones yards looking for anything to eat. I probably contributed to it by feeding them. Which just brought them into closer contact. Took about eight years before they recovered from it. It's setting up to do it again, ton of deer around me. No hunters, to speak of, I only take a few, couple of friends and neighbors the same. But not near enough to slow it from another crash. [/QUOTE]
