continued vigilance of the public so that we can respond in a timely manner."

Residents in other counties are encouraged to call their respective regions to report dead or sick deer. Contact information is available on page 3 of the 2007-08 Pennsylvania Digest of Hunting and Trapping Regulations, which is presented to each license buyer and the agency's website (http://www.pgc.state.pa.us) under the "Contact Us" section at the bottom of the homepage.

EHD was first confirmed in Pennsylvania in 2002, when an outbreak caused the death of 70 deer in Greene and Washington counties. That same year, EHD was confirmed in Maryland, Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin.

In 1996, EHD was suspected to be the cause of death in nearly 25 deer in Adams County, but test results in that case were inconclusive.

This year, numerous other states also are finding EHD-related mortality this year, including Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Virginia, Ohio and West Virginia.

Facts About the Pennsylvania Game Commission: As wildlife health concerns increased, Dr. Walter Cottrell was hired as the Game Commission's first wildlife veterinarian in 2005.
