Default SOUTHEAST IL HIT HARD BY DISEASE

Just wondering if anyone out there has had there deer herd hit as hard by disease as we have had in our area? Numerous reports from bowhunters seeing less than half the deerof what they normally would encounter are common place. Weestimate nearly 60% ofour deer population has been wiped out. Could it be thatwe are just theisolated pocketof devestation biologist talk about or is it widespread? Farmers reported finding lots of dead deer laying in fields and we have found 4 bucks dead still in velvet. This is not the year to thin out the does if this is the case.
