Dang!

Seen dozens of ehd deer in Nebraska. Nothing seemed to ever want to touch them...

Watched it last night!

23 I'm in

Got a buck roar coming. I remember actually hearing some buck roaring prior to the huge EHD die off of 2012. In NE. Ther'd be 6 or 8 bucks chasing 1 doe, the times I heard them roaring. Back when deer numbers were high. I'm assuming the buck roar call does regular grunting too.

That's awesome, I'm jealous.

I have the old true talker. Was hoping there was something better.

That piebald is awesome.

There's really nothing I've heard that can really duplicate the sound a buck makes. I haven't tried too many types. What are some of the best ones that sound the most like a real buck? I usually don't use calls too much, but they work sometimes and I think I should have one. Trying to upgrade...

Thanks, I think I'm going to get one to try.

I'm talking about specifically in Iowa. Do they work? Buck or doe decoy? I've never tried one.

Let's hope the EHD stays way.

I was in the same area in IA in 2018, and I didn't notice any EHD on the farm I was hunting. I've been through multiple EHD years where I hunt in Nebraska. I had a couple observations, one was how devastating it is and I also noticed it hit in pockets. I think it runs through cattle ranches...

A couple of you said this is a great year to come. Why is that, rainfall alone? And I didn't pick the year, the DNR picked for me, lol.

When I started a point cost $10, and I only needed 1 point to draw a bow tag in zone 5 (possibly considered the best zone). Now points are over $60, and it took me 5 points to draw a zone 5 tag, and I was lucky, I think some with 5 points didn't get a tag. There was hardly a word ever heard...
