| In Sept of this year 200 whitetail were killed by a epizootic hemorrhagic disease, DNR said the disease was spread by nats, this is just the ones they know about, I am looking forward to deer gun season, and will interested to see if there are a lot of deer this year. I will also be on the look out for deer carcusses as I go walk about on the property. Inofrmation on this was in the Akron Beacon Journal (Ohio) date Sept. 13,2002 page b5 |

| Well, back from one week of deer hunting, brother, are there deer out there, it was real good to see so many deer, and to have a pick and chose hunt for a change. With a three deer tags, one antler, two non antlered, it was a good time, all saw and got deer. Biggest one was a six point buck, not a giant, but a nice full deer. |

Congrats on a good hunt, Chechatonga!
Did you see any deer that might have had EHD? |

| No all the deer in Monroe County Ohio, we saw were acting very healthy. No sickly ones found or seen. Now in Wayne County Ohio a friend saw and shot one that had gotten into a fenced pasture and seemed stupid and unable or confused to find its way out of the pasture. I think I would have passed on it. He is going to eat it, I think I would have let it pass, although it has been removed from the heard. |

| Chechatonga, On Dec.28 me and my dad were hunting in Pike county Ohio where I got my Mid 140 class buck during gun season.Anyhow 15 minutes after setting my deer stand up I heard my dad shoot. Within 2 minutes I saw what I thought to be a large doe.Well since I had already scored with a buck it was time to fill my doe tag.As (she) got about 60 yards out broadside I decided it was now or never. Well as it turned out the (she) was a (he). Yep! a buck that had already dropped his rack.His pedicles were still wet so I figured he had just lost them recently. I asked the game warden and he said that this was normal and probably not from the blue tongue disease.The deer sure didn't taste any different. |

| I was muzzle loader hunting on the 30th of Dec, and saw a buck with only one antler, it may have lost it in many ways or just dropped it in a normal mannar as yours, anyway I had filled by antler tag and had to pass on the deer, I was out for does only that day. Take care, and good hunting |
