Blue Tounge - Our party just finished out annual hunt in Allamakee county, south of Harpers Ferry. We did not do well, nor did we see many deer. Also, noticed the shooting was significantly down in the area on Saturday and very little on Sunday. Talked to several other hunting parties in the area they also did not do well. For example one party has hunted the same area for 20 years and 18 hunters harvested 2 does, they usually limit out. They were stopped by the DNR and Sheriff and was asked how the hunting was, the DNR said Blue tongue has effected the area and it showed. Is anyone else having the same issues. We did not see any dead deer - However, a noticeable lower number in deer population. Our usual deer everywhere was not there this year. We hunt private land surrounded by thousands of acres of public land with very little shots bieng heard.
