Michigan EHD – Outbreak of Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease in Deer
| Message from Brent Rudolph, the Michigan Dept. of Natural Resources: ” The number of deer listed on the map and in the table is a MINIMUM number, since not all deer that die are reported. The DNR is VERY thankful to the many hunters and volunteers that are working with us to provide this information. This is a horrible disease for hunters, the public in general, and DNR personnel to see impacting the deer. But, while nobody is pleased to be dealing with this, we’ll get through it, these local deer populations will rebound, and we can at least be thankful this is not a disease with human health concerns or permanent impacts on the health of our deer.” Brent is the Wildlife Research Specialist – Deer and Elk Program Leader Office: (517) 641-4903 (ext 248), rudolphb@michigan.gov Read more |

This approach sustained deer populations that, at times, were scarce but still allowed recreational opportunity and a chance to put food on the table. As deer became increasingly numerous and widespread, however, it became obvious to wildlife managers that a continued focus on maximizing deer production was no longer the best approach. Read more
