Tests Show EHD to Blame for White-tailed Deer Deaths in West Missoula Valley

           Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks reports that lab results received Monday show that white-tailed deer deaths, first reported in the Missoula Valley in mid-September, can be attributed to epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD).

            Nearly 400 dead deer have been reported since the September outbreak began, and FWP sent in samples from several dozen deer for testing.
