An outbreak of epizootic hemorrhagic disease among white-tailed deer in Wisconsin has likely expanded to six counties, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. EHD, spread by biting midges, typically kills infected deer within days and outbreaks often follow summer drought conditions. Wildlife officials and hunters are monitoring the spread as the fall hunting season approaches.
