crappyice Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 At the risk of exposing my ignorance, what is a "googan"? I googled it, but came up with "clueless fisherman in trendy clothes". Is it that, only replace fisherman with hunter?Yup..made popular by those tuna fishing shows on the TVSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve863 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I am also beginning to be a bit skeptical about the severity of this. Since the areas effected are close to NYC I would have imagined more media coverage of this. If for no other reason than to try to scare some hunters from hunting for deer. A few years back there were reports of rabid deer and I remember it getting way more coverage and again probably in hope that it would keep hunters from shooting deer that might potentially be sick and then consumed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeptical?!? Now I am skeptical a hunter wants to vote Biden into office with that sort of conspiracy theory thought process!On another note I work in Rockland county which is closer to NYC and checked 2 honey holes today that are still holding deer. Also, my brother who is a Park Ranger in Rockland has not seen any sign of EHD or has not responded to any call regarding the disease. His crew spends 30 hours a week in the woods, so thats good news!The problem seems to be “isolated” on the I84 corridor from Goshen, east towards Dutchess/Putnam counties. This all has to do with poor water quality so some towns may have been hit harder than others. Lastly, the only reason I found this forum was b/c of EHD. I googled it and found this talk.

Articles and news coverage...but “thousands” of dead deer raise no eyebrows from DEC or the public who have flooded the woods and parks and hiking trails since Covid. I get it exists in some pockets (and it sucks that it’s yore’s and Matt’s pockets of woods) since a biologist told me so, but the “sky is falling” and no more coverage except two forum posters seems strange.

sodfather Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 All these sightings of dead deer and talks of EHD seem to show up after you posted your contest thread .

Yorehntr Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) I’m not going to escalate this conversation further, but just want to point out one key point. That, is the difference between my original Verbiage “hundreds to thousands dead”, somehow being changed into Crappy’s internet “fake news” version of “Hundreds to thousands of reported.” That’s a huge difference, But for fun Let’s do some simple math. 50 plus found dead in cold spring ( by Two guys) 25 dead on one farm in goshen, 40 in rock tavern by ( 3 guys) 13 found dead along 400 yards of creek In fishkill by (1 guy), 30 plus on another rd in Goshen, then adding all the mystery deaths that are happening all over the place. Which happen to be coinciding with a rare EHD outbreak... that’s over 150 known dead right there. Found by a very few people, on a minuscule portion of the land known to be affected. So, for every one deer found , how many are unfounded? anyone that spends any time in Orange County, knows we have swamps in almost every section of woods, and once a deer goes in , good luck finding. Just something to think about..drive down the rd in areas of and 3m In evening with your windows down.. there’s dead all over, that will never be accounted.
