I got my wolf application in, on line a few days ago. I can buy a my deer tag over the counter and I don't think I need to apply, I think I can just buy an antlerless permit.

Guys has EHD always been around? It seems to be getting worse and worse each year...I have been hunting since 1994 and never heard of it until a few years ago. Also where did this originate from? Alright, I'll admit I have no idea what "EHD" is either.
Something clever here.

Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease.
Disease in deer is getting worse because deer herds are in general too large. That allows easier transmission of disease which is the limiting step in most epidemics.
Think about measles in kids that are in school, or avian cholera in white geese, plague in prairie dogs, etc.

Yeah, I had to google it too!

Yeah, I have to look it up so spell it too. Besides, that name is not that specific - it suggests more of a general class of diseases

80's is way more better than 104.
I'm not sure what's up for the weekend, no plans at this point.

That's actually not too bad of odds. 1:4 I thought it would be more than that.

I heard the DNR was having issues with this wolf lottery, they were getting the rights people coming buying the licenses to try to get more people involved and less hunters. i got mine applied for! you have to show proof of a previous hunting liscense to apply.

Blue tongue is caused by the Blue tongue virus (BTV). not sure why that one has a practical name, but anyway. BTV can be spread through many species such as sheep and cows, it's very similar to EHD aside from that it crosses many species and EHD targets white tailed deer. very rarely will it (EHD) be found in mule deer apparently. I've talked with a few people out here who look at me funny when I say EHD, then try to correct me by telling me blue tongue. they are different, and I know the difference.  tried something yesterday, after doing some research I found something that might inhibit the midge's life cycle that transmits the disease. like a big mosquito pellet used to treat stagnant water in places. these are safe and can be used in stock tanks. since that's where 99% of the standing water is on the place. so I tracked some down, made the trip to pick it up and treated every tank on the place. crossing my fingers, losing sleep over it. funny thing is, if it works, no one will ever know I averted disaster besides me.
