It was about this time last year when I was plucking the first doe out of a pond that had fallen victim to EHD. Lost several more deer last year as well as others I know. Anybody seeing any signs of it this year?

I have not seen nor heard of any. Totally different summer this year than last.
I forwarded that question to Chad Stewart.

I saw an article last week that said EHD wasn't nearly as bad this year as it was last year. It was speaking to the issue on a national level, but I think the same applies in our corner of the world.

I was worried last week about EHD. Creek was extremely low and starting to pool. Just the right setting for EHD to come busting out again. Got some rain and creek levels back up and flowing.

Nothing so far that I have seen in Miami County, Fulton or Cass. But it's still possible, we got hit in Sept last year.

Sounds bad. I hope that it gets isolated or contained somehow, if it's even possible. I will just have to keep my eyes open. Do they recommend having dead deer tested so they can get an idea of where it is or do they not really want to be bothered with it?

If it is not tested within 24 hours they can not tell if it is EHD or not. They still need to hear about dead deer. They list them as "suspected EHD deaths".

The lake is down a foot, the creek is no longer running and no rain in sight. Just right for an outbreak.

copied from another website post::::::
I spoke with DNR Wildlife Biologist Rick Peercy (?) yesterday and he said that yes, EHD is rearing its head again this year. He said that Switzerland was one of the counties with, suspected-not confirmed, cases. Not only has it been dry down there but all of central IN has been extremely dry.

I had sent Chad the link to the elk die off and asked about Indiana EHD again..
His answer...
Thanks for the link. Can’t open it on a state computer, so I will have to look at it at home. I have reports from Noble, Daviess, Jackson, Dearborn, Ohio, and Switzerland. We have confirmed EHD in Delaware Co. We have submitted or are in the process of submitting samples from Daviess and Switzerland County. It sounds like for most locations, the reports are only of one deer here and there. The exception is in Daviess County, where an outbreak has seemingly occurred in a very small area.

We got over an inch in Switz. county so far today, so should help out a bunch. Currently have flood warnings out, so that should clean out the creek's....

Just watched a 10pt swim a lap in my lake while on the front porch cleaning fish. He ran off to the bean field. Hope he just wanted to take a dip, but something tells me otherwise.

Man alive. I don't think my place can stand another hit. The cameras just haven't produced near the photos they have the years prior.
