Outdoor Writer Report post Posted August 29, 2013 I didn't look at the article, but it's hard to buy into the bug-bite theory. EHD won't kill every elk at the same time and in the same place, as it sounds like that is what occurred. I'm betting on some other cause. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swivelhead Report post Posted August 30, 2013 Hope it's not some highly virulent pathogen. BTW, is it my imagination or is that a big ol' bear dining on that carcass? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flatlander Report post Posted August 30, 2013 That bear was definitely having dinner. EHD is bad news I have never heard of it in elk or in the west. I hope we don't start seeing outbreaks this way, I know it can be devastating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Meyer Report post Posted October 23, 2013 Wow That is really a crying shame. At least they know what caused it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
