I really believe EHD has had a profound effect on the herd. I believe that the hot dry summers cause deer to congregate around what little water they can find and make themselves more vulnerable to getting bitten by the midge.
My buddies who put out mineral licks, feeders etc... have quit doing it once it gets warm for fear that they are causing the deer to congregate. Makes sense to me.
I think there are times when we think we are doing the deer herd good when perhaps we should just let nature take it's course.....
