[QUOTE="KDM, post: 500537, member: 314"] Lots of hunters spend thousands on food plots. Lots of hunters spend hundreds of dollars on corn to pull deer to the stand. I suspect that buying a couple hundred bucks on Bt dunks to try to ward off a possible EHD die off would be money well spent for more than a few hunters. I'd be a no brainer for me, but I don't have a water source on my land, so I would have to go ask the neighbor if I could treat theirs. Keep in mind that messing with livestock water is fairly touchy with ranchers. Hypothetically, If you combine both the "Assumed" efforts of the GnF on 9% of ND and then add say 30% of EHD affected private lands, the combined efforts might very well head of a widespread deer die off. Of course this is all rainbows and unicorns in perfectionville, Utopialand. My first thoughts would to investigate methoprene pellets that sink to the bottom of the pond. It's an insect growth regulator that prevents mosquitos and other aquatic flies including biting midges from becoming adults. It's not perfect as there are some environmental concerns that need addressing. Bti is another option, but not as effective as methoprene. Investigate the options for yourselves. Keep yourselves informed. [/QUOTE]
