Virus Detected in Illinois’ White Tailed Deer Population
Animal Health Officials Say Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease is Deadly to Deer, but Poses no Risk to Humans
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – An outbreak of an acute, infectious virus that kills white-tailed deer has been detected in Illinois, the state Departments of Agriculture and Natural Resources reported today.
Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease (EHD), an often-fatal virus that causes high fever and severe internal bleeding, has been confirmed in captive deer herds in Franklin and Randolph counties. It also is the suspected cause of death in wild deer in at least 28 counties throughout central and southern Illinois.

Thanks to Rick for reporting the news out of North Dakota. A proposed ballot initiative would ban private hunting preserves throughout the state of North Dakota. Currently preserves allow hunters to come in, pay a good chunk of change, and then hunt in a fenced in area. Of course, there are people now crying out about unethical hunting practices and wish to shut this practice down.
The debate goes on. This is big news and as you can see is hitting the blogs online.
My only question to those reading is how ethical is it for the farmer to slaughter the cow out back behind the barn to sell to the market? Do we shut down all the meat factories? Maybe we should refocus a bit on what is hunting? and what is killing for meat?

Ready, Aim, Fire!
“When an unarmed Montana man was confronted by a large black bear trying to claw its way into his camper vent last week, he had to think fast. Grabbing a can of aerosol bug spray and a lighter, he created an improvised—but quite effective—flame-thrower, blasting the bruin in the face and causing it to flee.”

Now that’s the spirit! Soldiers who reside in the state of Minnesota and are returning home from service overseas (past 2 yrs) are eligible for free hunting and fishing licenses from the Minnesota DNR.
“Many Minnesota soldiers have put their hunting and fishing trips on hold while they serve abroad,” said Mark Holsten, DNR commissioner. “The free license is a small way we can recognize their sacrifice, welcome them home, and extend an opportunity to be with friends and family in Minnesota’s great outdoors.”
Kudos!
