It was caused from over population. The F&G never closed or shorted the hunting season and the deer have came back strong, we have better bucks now, or so it seems. Nature has a way of cleansing and controlling the heard.
Yeah we have had the same thing where you can just smell dead deer everywhere.

I don't know what keeps florida from getting it. Lots of rain maybe.

From my understanding its really not a matter of having EHD as much as having the conditions for it to become a problem.
