EHD REPORTING TO DNR - DO IT! LINK HERE….

Man, hate seeing these EHD cases. This forecast is not helping either!

Found one so far

So all the ehd deaths I've found have never been eaten on. Plus they decay so fast too because they are so warm at the time of death. Is that what everyone else has seen. I haven't seen a ton of them but mine never been touched by buzzards or yotes.

I’d say the one I found had not been ate on much if at all. Plenty of coyotes around too

Water nearby? Might not be EHD since the carcass looks heavily scavenged

On the bank of a creek. Mostly liquified.

This one had a bunch of white foam coming out of its mouth and nose. No apparent wounds/injuries.

Absolute magnum buck found by pheasant hunters in a creek in Adair co. Easily 200.

That’s one area that has been producing sneaky big deer for years. Montgomery/Cass/Taylor county- used to hunt it all and man there were giants every year.

I had it wrong, Audubon county. This was snipped from the Iowa Bowhunters FB page.

That is a shame to see that deer or any deer die from EHD!

It’s absolutely amazing that a tiny bug you can barely see will take down a giant animal like that !!

Yep- u off by an inch with a big broadhead or even a bullet…. They don’t die. a stupid little midge bites…. Toast!!!! Irony.
Poaching & ehd - both sad ends. Wild they can evade hunters for years and that stupid virus pops up & wipes em out We need to grow the awareness of this link. First year available. If we grow it (takes time) it clearly will better showcase the impact. As of TODAY….. my wild guess is, 1 to 5% of dead deer are being reported. Wide range but my guess. When I know guys who are like “ya dude, I found 10 on one 240 acre farm” & there’s 18 reported cases for the county…. We have a long ways to go. Which is part of the process but props to dnr for implementing this & wanting to grow its awareness + their willingness to react to the data.

Skip, thanks for posting this link. Unfortunately found a young 10 point on my little 20 acre farm tonight, dead within the last 2-3 days.

Finally got a chance to get out for a walk. Only decided to walk it because the map showed our area had been hit and neighbor had found one pheasant hunting.

Sadly, I found three bucks and a doe while walking just one of the ditches. All within ten feet of water. 17 points on the one buck. Just shy of 6" bases on another. The smaller buck may not have been EHD

We found over 20 deer carcasses on same property in spring of 2022. It was just starting to rebound. Still lots of fresh track today, so not a total wipeout.

Just found this guy today next to a water hole..No blood or bullet holes so I'm guessing EHD..
