Indiana DNR confirms early EHD outbreak in deer, particularly in northern counties.
Indiana DNR confirms an early outbreak of EHD (Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease) in deer, particularly in northern counties. The viral disease, transmitted by biting midges, affects white-tailed deer and is not a threat to humans. The severity of EHD can be influenced by weather conditions and often proves fatal to deer. The DNR is monitoring EHD detections and has started lowering the county bonus antlerless quota for deer hunting in Wabash County. The disease is common during late summer and early fall.
