Is it from Braerwood Kennels in Haughton? What was the price for the pup, if you don't mind sharing.

This sounds amazing!! Waitin' on the next cold front to try it out. :cheers:
I've had that happen before. My Dad pushed me out of the way before the buck skewered me. That was my first trophy buck, too.
Here's what EHD is from Wikipedia:

Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease (EHD) is an orbivirus that infects White-tailed Deer in the northeastern and midwestern United States. The virus is transmitted by the Culicoides biting midge. The EHD virus is closely related to the Bluetongue virus and crossreacts with it on many blood tests. The virus has an incubation period of approximately one week, during which the animal may transmit the virus to biting midges. After the development of symptoms (which include internal hemorrhage, weakness, high fever, bruising, and dyspnea) the animal dies within 8 to 36 hours."
Sounds like EHD. It's a deadly disease that has been affecting deer all over the country this year worse than usual. Deer that die of EHD are usually found in/near some kind of big water source. One of the side effects makes them incredibly thirsty. Lots of big deer have been dropping from it in the Midwest and Northeast all summer/early fall. Haven't heard of any major reports from LA or the deep South.
