Back in 2012 I had a doe survive EHD. She lived in my back yard most of the time and only moved to the neighbors for a year. That winter and spring she looked dead. Never seen a deer so skinny and bone. She would just bed on the hill side for days. Same spot for weeks. That spring no fawn and it took her the whole summer to look better. 2014 she had one fawn and looked about normal. Next two years she had two fawns each year. She stayed around the 5-10 acres her whole life. I'm hoping some of the deer around my area has antibacterial in their blood. How was it determined the Deer had EHD at one time? |

Sample sent to lab so be few weeks. Biologist said he thought it was EHD. |

EHD. The guy who posted it stated was confirmed by DNR. Biologist told him he thought was EHD but have to wait on test results. Adam is kinda a BSer if you know him. His neighbor has already contacted Joe and it's suspected case but won't know till test results get back. |

Never seen EHD look like that ......Deer is skin and bones and still alive! Greg me neither. Friends with a adjoining landowner who said it was thought to possibly have a hindquarter injury ( Maybe hit by vehicle?) Certainly something else going on then just EHD IMO. |

No testing, but we had dead deer everywhere and so did everyone else in the area. ODNR confirmed that EHD was bad in the county that year. The sick ones all looked the same. We watched her group get worse and worse. I think all the other deer in that group died. |

So a local guy from Switz Co. posted a video and pics of a nice buck on his property on Team Indiana FB site Buck is skin and bones and very lathargic. Contacted DNR and a biologist came down yesterday put deer down and took samples. So we wait. Personally looked like deer had more issues than just EHD. But guys on Team Indiana site already diagnosing as CWD from pics..... Really. I'm very confident that IF biologist thought any chance of it being CWD that we would have a SWAT team of DNR officials in area getting more samples currently. Guy said biologist told him most likely EHD but had to wait for test results. I saw that... That deer has more problems than EHD. It might have EHD too, but that skin and bines did not come from EHD. I've seen EHD recovered deer and they are nowhere in that bad of shape, even after they recovered. As far as jumping to conclusions on CWD.. I don't think so... I'm sure that the DNR will do a complete blood workup on the sample. I had one poster on one FB page that said IF you find just one EHD deer that you WILL lose 50% of your local herd. He was corrected... Soooo much EHD and CWD misinformation on FB... . |

Wouldn't be surprised if that deer has been hit as I already posted. That's what one of neighbors is saying is that it was hit in hind end. Most likely has some internal injuries. Time will tell. . |

Neighbor to farm with sick buck just messaged me. He called and spoke with Joe about deer today. NO official diagnosis yet. Deer samples have been sent to lab and be few weeks. Said had some symptoms of EHD but also had other issues going on bit did not say what he thought those issues were. Said he would let the landowner know what test results are when they get them back.

The latest from Joe..
“Hey,
Just FYI, we finally have some of the virus isolation results trickling in from the lab. It is EHDV-2.
We have a couple of more positive results posted on the map now as well. The first 2 deer we investigated in Hamilton and Orange County were negative (sampled in mid-July), but those were a couple of weeks prior to the Parke and Clark county deer we investigated.
Sincerely,
joe”

I was out today preparing one of my fall food plots and came upon my target buck. I am sure he died of EHD. He was a beautiful 10 point with huge brows. Hate to see him die this way. This puts a damper on my season for sure.

That’s quite a bit of change. Actually nice to see an administration that is being proactive before season, rather than reactive the season after. I’m
Gonna have to hunt hard in other counties now if I want fill the freezer.

I wasn’t even thinking that way. Can still really kill 6 deer in my county even though it’s only a 2 bonus. I have two hunts at atterbury as well, so hopefully add some freezer meat there.

I am still finding dead deer in Perry county. Almost everyone I have talked to is finding dead deer or knows someone who has found dead ones. Looks like it might be a slim year this year.

A friend and neighbor is going to follow up with Joe to see what they thought was wrong with it. Will update when I hear something. |
