I read about the deer somewhere getting bit by something like noseeums and dying off. It may be the same place. They are dying off in Lower Michigan somewhere also from some sort disease passed from bugs I think.

here..read this..

is this what you are talking about?

Hemorrhagic disease results from an infectious virus transmitted by tiny biting flies or gnats known as midges, sand gnats, sand flies or no-see-ums. It is a fairly common disease of white-tailed deer in the southeastern United States, with outbreaks reported more frequently from August until October, when freezing weather dampens the midge population.

That's too common, he had to show the bugs revenge for the deer killing their relatives.

Google is your friend...it's all over the news...

RALEIGH, N.C. – At least 20 white-tailed deer have died in the area of Stone Mountain State Park in a suspected outbreak of hemorrhagic disease, the result of a virus that does not pose a danger to humans, according to the N.C. Division of Parks and Recreation.

It's biting gnats or midges...tiny biting flies...

Thanks I guess I need to look up hemorrhagic disease... it sounds familiar. I hope this doesn't spread among humans or our food supplies...

They're called Deer Ticks and you get Lyme's Disease if bitten by an affected one.

It's OK...at least you can tell your Mom they pose no threat to humans. She'll probably feel better after you do.

No, not that... that's not unusual. I'm used to hearing about that. In fact I've known people to have it. Thanks for the sarcasm though *ahem* Constructive criticism is better than sarcasm...

Well, it does effect humans. Venison is a good emergency food. It is also a good source of high quality proteins and elastins for strong muscles. The drawback is the type of cholesterol in it can cause artery problems if overeaten. Anything that effects our foodchain effects humans. If this starts to effect our livestock we are in major trouble.
