20 deer from one pond? sounds like poisoning...rat bait cause rats to leave and go for water...

No kidding! Long arming it my rear!!! The guy has his elbows down near his side like his elbows are braced so he can hold that big friggin thing up! The mass on that buck is unreal and what a shame to die like that! Blue tongue is a real killer and can wipe out close to 100% of the deer in a particular area once it hits and all you can do is pray for cold weather to kill the insects so they don't continue to spread it.

Yes it's pretty sad and as far as the guy trying to hold it some special way??? Haha, whatever you think. EHD and blue tongue are very similar diseases. The disease is carried by certain bugs/mites and normally even if deer are bitten by something with the disease they will usually come out of it. However, where deer have a hard time coming out of it is in hot and dry weather (drought), which is what we have obviously had all summer. It is a shame for sure! By the way, I'm no expert on EHD and blue tongue, just saying what ive read online. We need weather to cool down soooon!!
