Enough to make a man cry!

Just makes me sick to see this. There have been a few reports of EHD here in MI but so far isolated to a few southern counties but I know how quickly it will spread.

Dean,, Jefferson county is on the Ohio River--the largest city is Steubenville. Jefferson , Ohio is probably 2hrs north of here, and yes it is carried by a biting midge.
Jay, the first frost kills the midges and essentially ends the epidemic--but there is always next year.
We were also hit hard around my house where the stench of dead deer was prevalent for weeks, but at least one survived as a big 10 pt was tending a doe by my mailbox when I came home from pheasant hunting today.
