SE Wisconsin EHD outbreak

[schmalts]

This is getting pretty bad this year. Let's hope for an early frost and no hard south winds. Washington and Waukesha county are getting hammered. I had a neighbor ask me what to do with this dead stinky buck in his yard yesterday. When I mountain biked in Washington county I smelled a couple in the woods. Anyone know any dying further north of those 2 counties?

Can't help with your question but EHD can really devastate a deer herd. In 2013 I found 13 dead deer on my small 52 acre parcel. Took about 7 years to somewhat recover back to what the population was. And im in the golden triangle of illinois right in middle of corn and bean country where habitat is as good as it gets.

I haven’t heard of any up by me, I am seeing a boatload of deer around lately though. Loads of acorns bringing them into the open woods the past few weeks.
