Michiana bow hunters were greeted to a double-edge sword when their season opened this week.

On the bright side, there’s the decent weather in the forecast, and more importantly, an early crop harvest which is driving some deer out of the cornfields.

On the downside, there’s that nasty EHD virus that likely will reduce the size of the herd in many areas of Michiana.


Reports of dead or dying deer continue to pour into southern Michigan DNR offices.

So far, Berrien, Cass and St. Joseph counties have escaped the worst of epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) while counties farther north and east have not.

As of last Friday, more than 1,700 dead deer have been reported throughout the Lower Peninsula the past few months.

Northern Indiana continues to be EHD free, according to district biologist Linda Byer, who said she’s received no calls about EHD outbreaks in her region.
