Middle creek archery hunt cancelled due to EHD concerns. I was really hoping to get picked this year!

This is interesting. When EHD wreaks havoc on deer in other areas of the state to the point that if you drive a back road along a creek you have to hold your nose, the PGC rarely even comments on it and certainly doesn't ask hunters to hunt elsewhere or close the season in those areas to "ensure that hunters continue to have quality hunting experiences in the future".

Probably because it is a lottery hunt.......................................if there is, in fact a large(natural) kill prior to the hunt, it would undoubtedly affect the quality of the hunt for those that were selected.

Kleinfeltersville Pa. on the border of Lancaster and Lebanon counties. I grew up about 8 miles from there.

Wouldn't it be nice if the PGC actually mapped EHD for hunters to use as a resource. It affects some areas horribly. When I make the suggestion, it goes nowhere. Here is what Ohio does for their hunters.

That would be a great tool to have for PA to get a better understanding of how widespread the problem is.
