ARE YOU READY? 20% OFF County Bonus Antlerless Quotas lowered due to EHD Indiana DNR has reduced the County Bonus Antler- less Quotas (CBAQ) for deer hunting in the affected areas in southern Indiana to a maxi- mum of two because of the ef- fect of epizootic hemorrhag- ic disease (EHD) on the deer herd this year. The CBAQ of counties that already have quotas of two or fewer will remain the same. The Special Antlerless Fire- arms Season is only allowed in counties marked in green on the CBAQ map. These coun- ties previously had a county bonus antlerless quota of four, but were reduced to a maxi- mum of two. Humans are not at risk for contracting EHD. EHD is a viral disease that may affect white-tailed deer to some degree every year. It typically occurs during late summer and early fall, and there is evidence that out- breaks can be more severe in years in which there is a wet spring followed by a hot, dry fall. EHD is transmitted by flies commonly known as bit- ing midges, sand gnats and "no-see-ums." EHD is often fatal to deer but some survive it. Not every deer in an affected area con- tracts EHD. One sign that a deer has contracted and sur- vived EHD is that its hooves will show evidence of slough- ing or breaking. As a result, the DNR asks that successful hunters use the A fter Hunt Survey (wildlife.IN.gov/9813. htm) to report the condition of their harvested deer's hooves, including both nor- mal hooves and hooves that show evidence of sloughing or breaking. The DNR monitors for EHD annually. The most recent sig- nificant EHD outbreaks were in 2007 and 2012. Severe out- breaks rarely occur in con- secutive years due to immu- nity from previous infections. EHD is not believed to have long-term impacts on the deer population. The effects of the harvest and EHD will be evaluated after the hunting season. If necessary, additional chang- es will be made next year. Anyone who finds a deer they suspect died of EHD is asked to file a report using the "Report a Dead or Sick Deer" form at deer.dnr.IN.gov.

TENNIS Continued from page 1 PC Middle School tennis improves to 3-2 By Dennis Marshall Press-Dispatch Sports Editor sports@pressdispatch.net Pike Central Middle School's tennis team im- proved to 3-2 this season af- ter defeating Tecumseh on Thursday, Sept. 12. "Overall, we played well," Pike Central coach Phil Knust said. "We are getting better with every match and prac- tice. This is a team we beat earlier in the year. They have gotten better also. Which I re- minded our team of before we played them not to get com- placent and think we were go- ing to beat them again easi- ly like the first match. They have been playing matches and practicing, and improv- ing also." In first round matches, Te- cumseh's Dillon Dupont de- feated Parker Knust 8 -5 at No. 1 singles; Pike Central's J.J. Bellmore won over Thomas Pemberton 8 -4 at No. 2 sin- gles; Pike Central's Eli Ar- nold beat Brayden Long 8 -1 at No. 3 singles; Tecumseh's Landon Oxley and Easton Ox- ley won at No. 1 doubles 8 -3 over Alex Gray and Carter Blackwell; and Tecumseh's Noah Rickerts and Nolan Ha- zelin beat Adon Lemond and Jayden Bolin at No. 2 doubles 8 -3. In the second round, Pike Central's Nolan Bailey won 6 - 3 and Dietrich Dunigan won 6 -2 at No. 1 and No. 2 singles, respectively. Lemond lost 6 - 1 at No. 3 singles. Pike Cen- tral's No. 1 and No. 3 doubles teams of Nolan Bailey and Dunigan, and Arnold and Bellmore won 6 -1 and 6 -2, but the No. 2 and No. 4 teams of Linkyn Knust and Bolin, and Carter McCain and Gray lost 6 -1 and 6 -4. "We need to continue to get in better shape and con- ditioning overall and mas- ter the fundamentals of the game," Knust said. "We do work on these things in our practices, but need to work harder and outwork the com- petition. We have some play- ers that do work hard in prac- tices and matches, but need it to be the entire team, every player." Knust said the good thing about this team is they know what they are up against and have not gotten discouraged. "They have stuck with it and keep working to get bet- ter," he said. "The season has gone well so far and I was a little surprised we beat some of teams we have so far. The past two or three years we have had, at the most, one or no eighth graders at all on the team, and being mainly sixth grade or younger, and we have taken a lot of loss- es. This year is the same, ex- cept now most of our team are seventh graders. We are still playing teams that have a lot of eighth graders on their ros- ter."
