I'm located in Southeast MO. and it's going to be really tough Hunting around here this Fall.Ive been seeing several nice young Bucks moving around....biggest thing that we will have to worry about like back in 2006 is the EHD that will kill off more Deer than anything else.With the water sources drying up and any stagnant water laying around the flies will flourish and if they bite the Deer and infect them that's where the trouble will start.
Our MDC asks us to watch for Buzzards and report any Dead Deer we think died of un- natural causes...we have gotten cooler weather and some rain but it's scattered all across our County.
I have a feeling any Food Plots planted this Fall will be hit hard by the Deer since the acorn crop might very well be poor this year also.We have plans for several food plots and hopefully we will get a good amount of rain fall in late Aug/Sept?
