While sitting along a saddle this morning saw two doe the first one came through nonchalantly nothing weird. The second one came from a different direction behind me. At first i thought it was a dog because it was panting very heavily. When it passed by me it was frothing at the mouth and look kinda scraggly. Is that ehd? Im in monroe county and as far as i know nothing has tested positive for cwd.

Re: Strange doe experience

Sounds like a doe in heat to me. Frothing seems a little extreme though.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I think EHD is mostly a summer thing when the biting midges are out

Re: Strange doe experience

The midges that carry EHD usually are toast after the first freeze of the year. She might have been running from a buck all morning.

Did you happen to hear any dogs barking? I saw a small buck like this once and two dogs were chasing it all over the property.
