Several years ago it hit east central Indiana and all but wiped out the entire herd. I know guys who hunted all fall without seeing a single deer and it can take a very long time for populations to rebound.

It is my understanding that EHD/Blue Tongue appears after weeks without. Standing water is a incubator to the parasite that causes the disease. I have seen video of deer that have been infected. They wander and stumble around, tongue hanging out, due to dehydration. Best thing you can do is put it out of their misery.

We lived in Minford, Ohio for 7 years while I was on a project with our Company at the time (Stone & Webster Engrg Co). MInford is in southern Ohio about fifteen miles north of Portsmouth, Oh. Great grouse, woodcock and deer country. My best hunting years were out there. Terrible to hear about this disease

It gets worse I am afraid for the deer population. I think there are too many in certain areas and they can tend to get wiped out from a disease that could impact all of them. I think there another disease that is even worse called Chronic Wasting Disease that is spreading as well. It is said if it shows up it can pass from deer to deer from urine and feces and it can last in the soil for up to 10 years. If that were to happen that could wipe out deer populations in areas for decades.

They also warn people not to handle certain parts of dear showing signs of the disease since they are not certain it cannot be transmitted to humans.

I think there needs to be more proactive herd management strategies enacted in densely populated deer herds.

Harold, If you were to take those remains home, would there be any risk to the herd that is around you? Maybe an idea would be drop them in a tub of mild bleach water?

should not be any risk. disease is spread by biting midges, which have now been killed by the cold.
The deer in my area were also hit hard by EHD anyways.
