#352 - What You Can Actually Do To Combat EHD: Ecosystem Health and Water Quality with Zach Hass of EHDefense
Habitat Podcast #352 - In today’s episode of The Habitat Podcast, we are back in the studio with co-host Andy and our good friends Doug and Matt Holmes of Downburst Seeders. We discuss:
What EHD is and how it spreads among whitetails
Why outbreaks are often tied to hot, dry summers and midge activity
Signs that deer in your area may be impacted by the disease
The difference between short-term die-offs vs. long-term herd recovery
Zach’s firsthand experiences seeing deer numbers drop overnight
The challenges of managing land when EHD wipes out hit list bucks
Why water sources become hotspots during outbreaks
Steps land managers can take to support herd resilience
Stories from Kansas and the Midwest showing how unpredictable EHD can be
Encouragement for hunters to focus on long-term habitat improvements
And So Much More!
