Default EHD would you hunt

2 Hypothetical questions..

lets say your state was hit very hard with an EHD outbreak and you lost much of your herd...

Would you still hunt that year or at least give them a year or so to recover.. Remember you will have less mature bucks running around and less deer in general breeding..

Do you think the state should step in the cancel season for one year at least or take it county by county?..
Remember a few years ago the Milk river region on MT lost close to 90% of it's deer herd a few years ago..

My opinion and it's worth what you are paying for it.. If I owned or managed a large tract I would not hunt that year and maybe the next with a good herd census first. I would do everything I could to improve the habitat and herd health.
