Some friendly advice: some of our areas, particularly here in the NE got hit with blue tongue/EHD and numbers are down in sone areas. Be sure to do your homework. They've mentioned perhaps adjusting doe permits, season lengths, etc. next year. Nothing's official and they're still waiting for some harvest counts before they do anything.
It didn't affect my hunting at all, but have friends who hunt a county over who had a devil of a time. It makes sense, because where i hunt, the water sources are pretty much stable, and that affects the disease. Their water sources not so much.
