We walked our creek a long ways and luckily didn't find anything. The water was moving real well though, no stagnant ponds anywhere there. This week may be a different story with lack of rain.

Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease (Deer)
The ODNR is seeking reports of dead/sick deer to help us track potential disease outbreaks.
People are panicking over ‘zombie deer’ — here are the facts
Deer are becoming infected with a disease that’s creeping into Ohio and other parts of the Midwest.

Some more information on the difference between EHD and CWD. Along with the cycle of the midge.
Hate seeing EHD. I was surprised to see how brown the grass was around Miami University last weekend compared to ours. Definitely looked like a more typical August brown. I'm guessing it has been dry for a big portion of the summer?
No was off their FB page the other day. That was the link in it, didn’t see a date anywhere.
I bet old Tonkavich and friends are salivating inside. Wonder if they still can collect bonuses if the kill comes from EHD 
?
?
With the lack of how they track it, I'd say there is no incentive for them. Otherwise we would have an active map showing specific areas with updated information. But we get hardly anything because they still want people hunting the shit out of the herd.I bet old Tonkavich and friends are salivating inside.

Well Athens County is one of the counties with documented EHD this year. Id rather the dam thing not be anywhere but since it already is.... here's to hoping it's isolated right around the Scatter Ridge Rd area.

You'd think one of those board members would be here gathering information of what hunters are saying. It would be crazy to listen to the most active forum in Ohio for hunting. But I guess they don't like their post getting reviewed before posting. Nothing says "you don't matter" more than not listening...
Its in Ross county. Found today along creek. Followed my nose to the prize.

Sickening. Townzen told me yesterday about a local boy finding nine bucks. One of them was his target, a 200”+. Sad.
Damn that really is a shame. Probably just a matter of time before we experience this in our area.

You’ll need to check with Townzen on that. I think he said it was off of 50. You may know the man that found them too. I guess he found five and his neighbor found four.
13 Ohio counties now confirming cases of "zombie deer"
Per ODNR Division of Wildlife, these "zombie deer" suffer from epizootic hemorrhagic disease, or EHD.
