If we stay out of the drought, that won't be too bad. Its worse on the dry years and had a huge impact on the whitetails especially. The deer congregate to water and wiht the high fever, go to water where they die.  The congregated deer are then infected.  Only the very strong survive.

Two different things. Hair loss they have been calling "HLS," for "Hair Loss Syndrome."  It's only a very recent problem, while blue tongue or EHD I believe has been around for a long, long time.

Thanks Bob!

Yea, bad years I'm surprised on how many deer I find dead/dying in fields around this area.

Seperate issue? I'm wondering if mosquitoes can contribute, seeing more of them this year than ever before. And last year was fairly bad during bear season. I had never seen "waves" of mosquitos in Washington as I had last year, and this year is starting out even worse......makes me wonder if there must be a cycle or something.
