Well that bites. Just of a sign of too many deer. Here in SE New Hampshire we have a ton of deer. We can take 4 per year, and can take any deer for at least a couple of days each season.
EHD outbreaks start from unusually dry weather for extended periods of time and deer contract it from biting mites near water.A lot of deer that have died from it have been found near creeks,ponds and swamps where they spend most of there time in hot,dry weather.It has nothing to do with too many deer.
