[QUOTE="BSK, post: 3387231, member: 17"] Diseases linked to over-population (Nature's population control) are always contagious diseases. The higher the population, the closer the contact between animals, which increases disease spread and increases the percentage of the population infected. EHD is not a contagious disease. It kills deer in high density populations and it kills deer in low density populations, sometimes at the very same percentage. The midges that carry EHD breed in the mud around stagnant water sources. If you have rock stair-step creeks, there is virtually no mud and very little stagnant water. Ponds and swamps have extensive areas of mud and stagnant water, greatly increasing the production of disease-carrying insects. [/QUOTE]
