[QUOTE="Traxion, post: 330134, member: 983"] I found multiple good deer dead from assumed EHD in several areas of SD last year while bird hunting. If a spray could work, how would you reasonably cover all these areas? It ranged from a stock dam the size of a small swimming pool, a well defined creek, and a CRP field with the closest water a slough that was essentially cattails. I wouldn't argue there are means to control them (haven't researched), but I would argue that it would not be possible to cost effectively pursue it unfortunately. In SD a lot of our cases are around known rivers and drainages, but that alone wouldn't solve the problem. I see it as another CWD. Make the people aware of it, do the best to educate them, and do what is possible to control the spread. I love a healthy deer herd, but thinking we can fight mother nature with EHD is akin to thinking I could put out an oil well fire with a super soaker. That fire is going to burn regardless of what we do. [/QUOTE]
