DampDH Just Received This Via Email Today This Was Sent By A Man In Rhinelander Wisconsin
Posted by DDH Staff
D&DH just received this via email today
This was sent by a man in Rhinelander, Wisconsin
A very eventful day around here... A once in many lifetimes experience! I saw this lil' feller run out in front of a car-- thought it was a lost baby goat. Stopped to get it, and WOW!! A real Albino Whitetail Deer. Just hours old, but doing fine. No Momma deer around. Another car nearly hit it in front of me .
Well, he is the neatest thing any of us ever saw. And such a 'freak of nature', that only 1 in more th an a million are even born. He took his bottle of food, followed us around the house, doing great. So, we called the Zoo & Fossil Rim, who were both interested, but we're going to send him to a Rehab farm. Maybe he will make it in captivity somewhere and be appreciated. So rare... Sure wanted to keep him tho. but, not the thing to do. And not LEGAL either. Here are a couple of pictures to show you. He was snow white, pink eyes, ears, nose and hooves. Kids called him POWDER. He was SO small. That is my shoe lying beside him... WOW..how cool is that??

Illinois Trip
Posted by DDH Staff
The DDH TV crew of Brad Rucks, Chris Hermans, Hugh and Dustin McAloon made a quick trip to Illinois this past weekend to explore a new lease they will be hunting later this fall.
The lease, provided by RAM Adventures (www.hunttrophies.com) is located in east-central Illinois a "short" six hour drive from our Wisconsin offices. We arrived at 11 am on Saturday and the plan was to hang as many camera sets as possible Sat afternoon, hunt that evening and Sunday morning and finish hanging sets on Sunday. RAM provided us with detailed color maps of the property, and they weren't kidding when they said it was awesome!
Both crews decided to hunt on the upper portion of the farm in sets that overlooked small and very secluded picked corn fields. Dustin's travel this fall will be very limited by the upcoming Wisconsin high-school football playoffs so I agreed that I would be the camera man this entire trip in hopes we could fill his tag. We were on stand less then five minutes when I saw two mature bucks move into the opposite end of the field 200 yards from our stand. Over the next hour a dozen or more deer moved into the field and the two mature bucks worked towards our location. Both bucks stopped and worked a scrape/licking branch on their way towards our location. One of the bucks was a wide-racked 8 point with short tines, the other a narrow-high racked 8 with long times....Dustin wanted the wide buck, the camera man said take the first one that comes into range.
Eventually the high racked buck came over to visit a yearling buck that had been below us for nearly an hour. The buck circled our field point location several times providing me with great footage, but each time stopping short of the shooting lanes. It was as if he knew where he was safe? Finally he crossed into one of the shooting lanes at 23 yards and Dustin made a perfect quartering away shot. The Rage hit it's mark and the buck ran less then 125 yards and expired in the corn field.
We were both estatic to harvest a mature buck on our first night and to capture it on video for everyone to see next season on DDH TV. Thanks to RAM for providing a great piece of property...we will be back in November for an extended hunt.

Dans Report For The Week Of 109The HuntThe Cold Front Finally Made It To Our Neck Of Th
Posted by DDH Staff
Dan's report for the week of 10/9: The hunt:The cold front finally made it to our neck of the woods on Monday. It went from blasted hot (80s) this past weekend to a much more deer hunting friendly low 40s this morning. Many reports from other staffers that deer are up and on their feet, but I wouldn't have known it. Have only seen a handful of deer during my short morning vigils. Bucks are starting to be more active, however, as rubs and scrapes are showing up in much more frequency. I just have a hunch that this year's rut is going to be one of those classic "throw the lightswitch on" type deals. Big Bucks:If you've been following the 2007 Big Buck Honor Roll link on the home page, you will notice that several more whoppers have hit the ground. I will be adding one shortly of a mystery buck that someone emailed to me in a long chain this morning. No details on the hunt or location, but check it out ...it is a very unique 32-pointer. I suspect it was shot here in Wisconsin, but I'm not positive quite yet. I do know that it was taken last week with bow and arrow. Special Offers:On the magazine front, we just put the finishing touches on a special 30th anniversary issue of D&DH. This will mail in about 3 weeks. It will also be available on newsstands. Some more exciting news is that we will be offering a limited edition print for the anniversary. And we are also unveiling a program where you can buy an entire year's worth of magazine on compact disc. this allows you to keep a library of D&DH articles on PDF form on your computer. Very handy for referencing all of your favorite articles. These items and more (including copies of the TV show) can be ordered already on our "Stuff Store." Check out the link at the top of the home page.

We Have Been Receiving More And More Reports Of Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease EHD Showing Up In Whitetails This Pas
Posted by DDH Staff
We have been receiving more and more reports of epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) showing up in whitetails this past week in southern Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia.
Some reports out of Illinois have some farmers finding dead deer by the dozens. For example, one D&DH reader reported finding 30 dead deer on one 400-acre farm in southern Illinois. The disease has also hammered captive deer herds, with some operations losing 90 percent of their herds in a matter of days. EHD, also known as "blue tongue," is contracted by biting midges, or gnats. The tiny flies transmit
the virus from infected to uninfected animals as the deer eat or drink water at concentrated sources. Droughts compound the problem, because deer congregate at streams and ponds. In these cases, one sick deer can mean a death sentence for all the others, because the gnats will feed on the sick deer and then bite and infect the nearby healthy deer.
EHD is not a threat to humans, and the disease disappears at the first killing frost of the season, which wipes out the insect hosts.
