EHD Deer Southern Iowa

[Sparkplug]

We have found four dead deer in our pond and one in a creek

DNR told me that for every one deer found dead in water there will be two that didn’t make it to the water and died

One buck and four does

Very sad

Had a little buck in wdsm. Wdsmpd put him down. He was laying in road. Not injured. Cops told us about ehd didn’t know the disease. Now we do.

Is this the same as chronic wasting disease?

No.

Both EHD and Blue Tongue are spread by midges but different diseases

Googled it. Sad now.

I saw several dead deer near a trout stream last spring in WI and wondered if something was up or if it was just poachers (didn't see any bullet wounds).

If you're talking about CWD no. It's spread from animal to animal contact.

I’m confused. Is Blue Tongue = CWD ?

I guess I didn't see anyone bring up blue tongue until you edited your post to include it. I thought you were responding to wxman1's question about cwd.
