We have found three deer now dead either in the pond or near the edge of the water. Talked to biologist this morning from Enterprise and he shared some pics with him of the dead deer and he confirmed that it was definitely EHD. Hate to see a potential trophy die this way, any deer for that matter. "Don't cling to Mistake, just because you spent a lot of time making it."

I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted..... proud Cracker-Americaan muslims are like coyotes, only good one is a dead one
