The final tally for suspected Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease (EHD) deaths reported by 30 November was 2,974 deer from 63 counties.

This is not an estimate of the number of deaths caused by the EHD outbreak as there is no way of knowing what percentage of the dead deer were found, and of those found, how many of them were reported.

The information will be used in conjunction with the 2012/13 harvest information, 2012 bowhunter observation survey, 2012 road kill survey, and the 2013 spring spotlight surveys to assess the extent and impact of the mortality caused by the EHD outbreak.
