I normally see 10 to 12 deer every day. I'm in Unit 5, north of Worley. In the past 5 weeks, I've personally seen ZERO deer and I've gotten 4 deer on 4 different cameras. Two bucks, a doe and a yearling. I have an extra doe tag this year that I am not going to even try to fill. I found 6 dead deer this fall. The whitetails down this low took a beating. I'm hearing maybe 90% of the whitetail herd down low was wiped out by EHD. I have heard they were not hit near as hard in the higher elevations. Sadly due to my knee replacement surgery I cannot hunt the higher country this year and am stuck hunting near my place. Not looking very promising for me this year. I'm hoping the small elk herd that usually shows up around Thanksgiving is back by the first week in Dec for cow elk muzzleloader season.
