This has been the hottest Summer on record in the portion of the state I live in (Southern Indiana).
There are areas that have received very little rain for the last few weeks and the forecast for the next two weeks includes no rain and temps in the 90's......
Hopefully EHD won't raise it's ugly head again.....

Scary stuff.
Hot and dry are precursors.

Mothers Natures way of reducing overpopulation, nothing scary about it at all in my mind. EHD has hit my area more than once, I have heard that the survivors will build antibodies to the disease.

Correct, in that it is Mother Nature's doing but it also hits areas that are not overpopulated. EHD hits nearly every year in in the south and seems to hit about every 3 or 4 up this way.

Timex is right. The population of a deer herd has nothing to do with an EHD outbreak. If an area has a large number of deer then yes, more deer will die in that area.
