Where is this ship headed?

So an insect that infects a deer. Then causes other insects to obtain the virus by biting said deer don't have a way worse effect in a densely populated area. Learn something new every day.

"EHD, or epizootic hemorrhagic disease, is one of the deadliest natural disease a whitetail deer may encounter.

EHD is much more common in wet years, such as the one we have had this year. The carriers are midges, mites, and mosquitos which are much more common during these conditions."

Said insects would be in more abundance in the conditions spoken on in the article"

Our area is prone to EHD.  It hits every so often when it's really dry.  Both deer and cattle get it, but the cattle are able to deal with it.  It comes from a midge that can only exist in hot, dry, windless conditions.  The midge lives right at the water's edge.  Normally, deer do not come to water to drink. They get their water off the leaves. However, when it's hot and dry, they'll go to water.  They go to a nearby pond, drink, and allow the midge to bite them.  Later, when the flu-like symptoms hit, they try to alleviate the fever by standing in the water.  They die. The midge feasts on the carcass and the cycle repeats.

EHD incidence has nothing to do with crowding or food plots.  It has everything to do with extreme drought and the proximity of deer and cattle.

So if 2 Deer come to the pond and get infected. Go out and wander around to other locations for two or three days before they find a pond or creek to die in it is going to have the same effect of spreading the disease as 20 deer coming to the same pond? I am sorry but that makes no sense. Fire is not spread by spacing wood apart. It is spread by bunching it together. Over a large area. We can agree to disagree and no hard feelings but any time cause wild animals to congregate in an area at high population levels the potential for bad things to happen rises.

I'll butt in and try to settle this for you guys.  One of you is talking about "cause" and the other is talking about "affect", or more specifically, spread of the disease related to time.   Both of you are correct in what you are talking about, but you are talking about two different things. 

...Now, what was the original post about again?....

If there was a ship load of deer, and EHD broke out, what was the cause and affect?  And what role did the Drury's play?

Oh,...Okay,...that clears it up for me.  We can always rely on you to make things clear as mud...

The midges are always there.  It just takes the right conditions for them to infect a deer.  Given those circumstances, deer get infected no matter what the density.  However, more deer, more infections.

This is not an artifact of too many deer any more than you can claim athelete's foot is caused by too many atheletes.

Ohhh,...and by the way, I see you've moved to Georgia.  ...They finally ran you out of Alabama, huh?...

I think that ship was a Donzi, we blew the engine and we have to teach the deer to paddle.

Still have property in Alabama.  Decided to move to Georgia to see if those Bama turkeys are harder to kill as a non-resident.

Should have loaded the boat with ducks and geese.  They make better paddlers because of the webbed feet.

Guesswho I see the Glades Legend has tagged out today. I'm surprised it took him a week. Typically it's the second or third day. Lol. I wonder where all he's off to this year. He hits it hard every year. Bubba

[guesswho]

He has several western states lined up.  Even going to hit Bama if he can squeeze it in.
