[QUOTE="bassinbrian, post: 4512154, member: 10498"] Well to say the least this deer season will be a wash for me. Very few deer on the 2 properties I hunt, No mature buck pics at all and very few juvenile bucks to look at. Most does are not mature either. Though I have only found 3 dead on the property (does) Im sure blue tongue is the culprit. We always have a ton of pics by this time of year. I run 5 cameras and am lucky to get 5-10 picks of deer a week now, Its to the point im afraid to shoot a buck, because I don't want to lessen the herd anymore. I think TWRA had downplayed how serious it really is. I live in Scott county, I can drive within 2 miles of my house and look at cut corn fields, usually just to watch deer and see whats around the house. In 2 weeks I have seen only 3 does, I check 4 fields.......... usually theres 3-10 even as many as 20 in one field. Not now, Are your counties hit as hard as ours? they say its localized but in 3 different fishing trips to Watts bar lake I found 5 deer floating, one really nice 8pt in the blue springs area, the rest were does. Im really frustrated, I really want to hunt but don't think I will. I want to kill one but think ill regret it if I do!!! [/QUOTE]
