My father and I have hunted mcnairy since 1982 and have never had a season this bad. I know the woods are loaded with acorns but never has had this effect. We were wondering if EHD had effect on herd here locally. We personally do not like 2 week muzzy season with gun running continuous and then 2 week break over middle of rut either. Maybe its just one of those years?

SW McNairy would put you in Ramer or Michie. I have land in Michie that my son and I hunt. We have seen about the same number of smaller bucks but the doe are few and far between. Kinda makes you think they know the new rules on them.
We also hunt turkey, squirrel, dove....etc. Never saw signs of EHD but you never know.

Numbers are way down in and around the airport. saw less than 10 doe's this year and 2 smaller bucks. one of the bucks we found dead in our pond when we pulled him out he showed no wounds of any kind.

My father in law has 20 acres right outside adamsville. He has a 4 acre corn field that he left standing. They are literally deer tracks by the hundreds. They are hammering it with these cold temps, but he can sit there all down and maybe see two does in the daylight.

I have seen two nice bucks very few does. we hunt close to ramer. Just seems odd to go out to all our different stands and not see does or small bucks. Just seems like the numbers arent there. Will admit that the wind has been kinda brutal every weekend

I hunt McNairy and it's been the worst season for me. McNairy lost 40% of the deer herd due to the disease. Saw a couple of spikes and a couple does Sat, but other than that not much. 1mph wind tomorrow and I will be out there. Best bet is the greenfields in the afternoon. The processor also said it has been a slow year.
