Semi, your herd will bounce back. You guys are being smart to leave the does be for now. Like you said, it might be another lesser year next season, but should be getting good year after. I've heard of some massive EHD kills in the midwest this year, crazy numbers.
BPS, I live in a CWD zone in VA / and also hunt in CWD zone in WV. Its a joke if you ask me. I hope PA doesn't over react, that would be the worst thing they could do. Here in VA they have found 4 total in 6yrs of monitoring. LOL
My .02 is this... EHD, CWD, etc... its God's way of managing the herd.
