I'm a north central Indiana guy so I'm not that familiar with EHD. With all the rain puddling everywhere, will the exposed mud be breeding grounds for midges similar to a drought year around more permanent bodies of water?

EHD typically becomes an issue during periods of drought. A limited supply congregates the deer at a common water source.

Abundant water is a good thing.

A few years ago EHD was bad during a long summer drought. Found carcasses in or near creek beds and ponds. Hopefully the good side of all this rain is that it makes life easier on the deer. They don't seem stressed. Seeing many fawns.

Yeah, the wet conditions is a good thing...it's when it gets dry, water sources become limited and stagnant midge infested pools become their source of water.
