Spoke to multiple people in Franklin County finding dead deer in Brookville lake and creeks. Over 100 suspected cases, with a DNR confirmed case. Buddy found one in his pond Ripley Co.this afternoon.

I've caught the whiff of death at a couple different farms the past couple of weeks but didn't hunt down the source. Both times were in the areas of creeks so I have a bad feeling that's what it was.

I guess the theory of hot dry causes EHD or blue tongue is wrong. It's been nothing like that this summer. I think maybe one time my son didn't cut the grass for two weeks and then it was over due.

Up to last 14 days we have been extremely dry in SE IN, I kinda expected a outbreak. Most of Indiana was in extremely dry conditions on Drought monitor through late July. We have went from extremely dry to extremely wet in 2 weeks. Have had close to 7" in last 48 hours. Been insane. |

Saw latest drought monitor this a.m. , only 2 counties in IN listed on it and they were in West Central part of state. |

Just talked to a buddy of mine who breeds deer. He's lost over half of his herd.

I've not run across any yet in north central Indiana. We've had a few dry spells, but a pretty normal IN summer so far as rainfall goes. Crops are in good shape.

2022 August is the 3rd wettest recorded. We had over 8 inches of rain and for the year close to 5 inches over. You would think EHD would be very low, but it's just the opposite. I now believe weather has nothing to do high or low EHD. There must be a gnats cycle where their population booms. Similar to the rabbit cycle. Maybe it's related to another animal cycle.

The areas being hit most are (Franklin, Fayatte, Rush, N. Dearborn Counties). This area received very little rainfall during late June and July and when outbreak began. (98% of Indiana was listed on Federal drought monitor at end of July in either D0 or D1 status , which is Abnormally to moderate drought conditions). Even with all rain in last 10 days Indiana still has 26 counties listed in D0 status . abnormally dry on drought monitor. Franklin, Fayatte and Rush are only 3 counties with significant EHD losses so far, with Franklin having over 60% of reported losses. Really to early to tell how bad this year will be, but for my area of Switz. Co., we have been very dry this year , with exception of last 2 weeks. |
