Here is a story I read on a local news site. Any early hunters run across this???
LA GRANDE, Ore. - A virus is killing deer in Eastern Oregon.
The Blue Tongue virus has hit the La Grande area before, but never with this intensity. One family found nine dead deer on or near their pasture last during the past month.
The epidemic does not affect humans. But it is killing an unusually large number of deer this fall, and wildlife biologists don't know how many more will die before it's run its course. The blue tongue virus generall affects deer between August and October, and is believed to be spread by tiny biting flies called "midges".
