Since it is very dry again. At least here in Eastern Iowa. Alot of dried exposed mud. Ehd problems again? Wondering.
I've seen videos/pics of dozens of deer dying in/near water this last week on Facebook. All are assumed to be EHD
Are they from a specific area or just all over the place, if you know?
general location?Its happening, a buddy found 5 dead in his pond and another buddy found an absolute giant in a creek.
It’s not that dry at my farm In Monroe county, neighbor said we got 5 inches in July. I think the ehd is coming from All the flooding this spring drying and leaving plenty of mud for the midges. Wouldn’t think it would be that bad since there’s enough water around for the deer not to be concentrated at one water source.I don't mean to sound ignorant but this summer has not been that dry has it (until recent weeks anyway)?? I broadcasted seed on 7/27 and was thankful to get .7" of rain the following day in the area of my farm. Soil moisture the day seeded seemed decent to me. I know it's been a dry since but I wouldn't categorize this summer as a ultra-dry by any means.
From the sounds of it my place may be in the death zone but like Skip, I will probably just keep my head in the sand since there really is nothing I can do about it anyway.
