EHD has been hitting areas all over the northeast this year and it's pretty bad here in NJ. I hunt three different spots within a 15 mile radius and haven't seen the numbers that I usually do. Last night my cam sent pictures that confirms it's at one of the spots. Such a shame to see them suffer like this. She did sit up a few minutes after the second picture but I'm sure she's dead somewhere nearby in the next day or two. Praying for a frost soon that will kill off the insect that's causing this.
Very sad for sure , I hate to see animals suffer like that. I am an avid hunter and have no problem with a deer in my cross-hairs but having them suffer is a different story.
Gheez. Every time you turn around there's another virus or bug killing our deer/wildlife or trees. Ugh Sad, but thanks for posting. I had never heard of EHD.
Well i didn't find her dead and thankfully I saw a group of healthy looking does with a few spikes. So hopefully we get a frost soon and they stay healthy until then!
