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.
I've got a feeling that EHD will not be a big problem this year with all the snow and cold temps we have been having... You might have a few cases here or there but but it shouldn't be anywhere like it has been the past few years...
A guy at work read in the Farmers Almanac that this season's crop growing will be the best it has been in 30 years...
