Another biologist here with a question? Everyone is talking about introducing ehd or blue tongue by stocking these deer (or the possibility anyhow). Here is my question, if the deer in the pens already have it, can the midge not fly out or over the fence and bite a wild deer? The deer in the fence would have had to be bitten right?

I do some work for a high fence operator. I do think you need genetics, but I think it is mostly food. Those guys poor the feed to them.
