The toll EHD took on the deer population in Columbia County was staggering in 2021. The local deer population just disappeared. I understand it was wide-spread in the lower Hudson Valley the previous year, but until last year no one here had even heard of it. How bad was it? I had a dead doe in my yard; one neighbor had a dead deer in his pond and another neighbor had two dead deer in his pond. In the town of Hudson five dead deer were found in a lake. It was bad.
EHD is spread by tiny midges and they were, in fact, very much in evidence and annoying. It's believed they blew up from the south along with hurricanes. I hope nothing like this takes hold further north, but you never know.
