[QUOTE="bigtex, post: 4513031, member: 2245"] It wouldn't hurt my feelings if they suspended this years season. I've hunted every corner of my farm and have seen two deer, and that was a month ago. Just spent all day in the woods on stand and saw ZERO deer. I walked the whole area mid week and found no tracks, no rubs or scrapes my food plots have not been touched. I'm not 100% sure it's EHD but something is going on. Our deer herd has never been very large but in the 25 years i've lived and hunted here this is the lowest i've ever seen it. I'm sure there are parts of my county [McMinn] that have more deer than on my place, there always has been. I don't expect or want TWRA to shut the entire County down but I do think that the more liberal doe harvest has impacted my part of the county. I can count on one hand the number of does killed on my place in 25 years. I personally have only killed one [and I regretted that] in an effort to increase the deer population. I'll be in the woods again in the morning, not to try and kill one but to just observe. If no deer are seen, i'll be done for the year i'm afraid. [/QUOTE]
