That is exactly what I have been saying, about avoiding the diseased deer. The USDA won't allow us to get them tested! This means that we don't know, which means that many hunters won't be going out; which means that we won't be able to thin the herds....
Don't worry, in PA the herd is thinned out pretty much every day -- only problem is we use cars and trucks and take em by the thousands. Just push em out of sight (charities won't take them anymore unless they're wrapped freezer-ready). I forget the #'s reported killed every year, but I'll bet it's under-reported, and it's still a big number.
I saw a doe several times this year with triplets (same doe). There's a soy bean field in the area, and I spoke with the guy who's farming it. He said they eat pretty well and he can't access all the fields to thin them. He can take deer anytime, legally, for crop damage.
