delaney how long do you feel is a long journey??
In 2007 Pike county was the hardest hit county in the state with EHD. It was said we lost 50% of our herd in three months. I believed it. There was dead deer in every thing that held water. You could not drive any county road and not smell the rotten stench of dead deer. 2008 was bad, 2009 was better, 2010 was good, 20011 I was seeing the numbers close to what it was prior 2007. The DNR dropped Pike in 2008 from an 8 to a 3 bonuse antlerless county we have no late antlerlss season as it's still at 3. The deer herd can rebound rather quickly if allowed.
