:confused: anybody happen to see any blue tongue deer this year yet ive been scouting day and night spotting and walkin and havent seen any sick ones so far keep fingers crossed.i hunt waterford and all of zone 23 besides williamstown extc.last year we hunted a place and walking in i found a dead spike with no signs of injury or holes left that spot found nice tree and while climbing i heard crashing (no kidding) turned and watched a doe flipping around in front of me then it just croaked in laurels 30 yards away couldnt believe it,being to hot to move again i stuck it out saw some mothers with fawns go by,i wont shoot a mother with fawns (new thread} but no shooters .well got down went out in field to meet friend at dark and no s--t a deer came running in circles rite at us it went in woods and thats all we saw of it. so i saw three in one afternoon. wow check out numbers in rule book and youll see how numbers were way down from previous years.:eek: keep um crossed

It happens on severe drought years apparently. We haven't seen any sign of it in zn34/45/46 yet where i've been looking. We need some more wet weather and by the looks of it we may get it!!:D
