- Preparing to Battle EHD, Anticipating the Worst in 20 Years // Lee and Tiffany Lakosky
With conditions in Southern Iowa being so dry this year, Lee is anticipating some of the worst EHD kill in the last 20 years if things don't change soon. While hoping for the best, he has to be prepared for the worst. This week, Lee goes through his checklist on how to best combat EHD and keep deer as healthy as possible, giving them the best chance for survival should any of them end up with the virus. One of the biggest weapons in his arsenal when it comes to this battle is Ani-Logics. He talks in depth about what makes Ani-Logics feed so effective in the fight.

The more I watch this series, the more astonished I am at the sheer amount of work Lee and Tiffany put into taking care of whitetails on their properties. It is truly amazing. Bow hunting is my favorite thing in the entire world, even if I could do it full time, I still dont think I would have the energy and drive to do what these guys do! Lee and Tiffany, keep living the American Hunters Dream, love it.
It’s crazy but Lee has a true passion for it all, always has! Thank u!!
Tiffany
Not only are you guys avid hunters you actually care about the deer as well. Ones actions speak louder then words. I really enjoy watching your videos.
Thanks Bradley, can’t say enough how much we appreciate you watching and following along. Good luck to you this season!!
anyone whos says hunters are ruthless killers that don't care about the animals they hunt, they need to watch this
Totally agree! Right before we left the other day we were all trying to save a baby bunny!
Thank u!
Tiffany
Afraid of a EHD outbreak here in Southern Illinois. Been dry as a bone since first of June unfortunately. Fingers crossed we escape a outbreak..
I want your t300, best skid steer ever made
We have Chronic Wasting here in Florida now.....
I always look forward to these videos from Lee, so rich in knowledge! Leaning in and listening! Thanks guys
Are you all seeing good results from all of this prep this year? EHD seems to be sweeping across all of southern Iowa and hearing death tolls have taken off in the past few weeks.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and keep your videos coming please.
The water troughs are great but the water does need to be changed out on a regular basis due to the water becoming stagnant even with the minerals added
ND , three years ago we had EHD. We aren't even close to recovering the population.
My dad used to have our property sprayed for ticks with a crop duster... this was 35 years ago so not sure what chemical was used.
Thanks for the all of the information. Really love watching these videos you guys provide. I always learn something new and look forward to next weeks video. Take care !
GOOD LUCK I so enjoy the way you explain procedures. You are a natural communicater.
@katharman9444 Thank you for the kind words !
That’s awful someone would hang stand that close. In bama by law they have stay 150’ from property line only 50yards better than north I guess
Impressive amount of preparation! I enjoyed the video. Keep them coming.
Leeand Tiffany is the base mix just for high fence farms or can i use it at my property for the herd
Trying to see the Analogic Product on the Net to purchase. What is it called?
Thanks for all the information 👍 another great video
Great info guys!
Just trying to keep the right info available so everyone can hopefully take something away from it. Thanks for following along with us!
They must not test for CWD around that area. I wonder why 🤔
Man Lee I salute you brother. I love it like you do and just love the animals and the work that goes into keeping them on your land and keeping them healthy year round. It's why it's a special brotherhood that understand our passion and why we do what we do for the deer and turkeys. But brother if people can't see how passionate you are and the things you do just to try to prevent EHD even knowing it could still happen I don't know what to tell them. Anyway brother keep doing what your doing and thanks for portraying it on youtube and giving a little look into how hard you work and what it takes to build a herd and keep them healthy. Kudos to you my friend.
Th al u so much! I can’t tell u how much we appreciate your nice response!
Best of luck this year!
Tiffany
your doing a great job Lee keep it up
Could you mist the permethrin around some of the ponds as well?
With this one, yes. Permethrin was only .05% of the active ingredient so I wouldn't be worried about that small of an amount getting into the water. I think of it in PPM (parts per million). That small of an amount in that big of a piece of water (speaking in terms of overspray), Im still doing more good than harm. -Lee
The Rubbermaid tubs was a idea I had this year. I’m thinking about installing some in the near future!! Definitely been a tough dry year awesome tips Lee! Thanks for sharing!! Definitely gave me some pointers
An inexpensive way to add water!!!
Thank u!
Tiffany
At some point they become pets and not wild animals. They can be free range and still not wild. I am not saying these steps are at that point, but at some point. I have heard of a few groups going even further than this - conditioning deer to human scent, steroids or other medication in feed, breeder bucks with wild does. The line walked on wild vs genetically modified is razor thin when you start putting medication in feed. Medication in feed that keeps deer warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, Medication that keeps them awake in November or increases your does sex drive in October. Thousands of possibilities. I wouldn't be surprised if we see more regulation in this area.
Thanks Lee for a great informative video. Here in Central Illinois we're about 7" below normal for rain too. Hopefully Mother Nature changes things quick.
Crazy!!
Tiffany
We were talking about this this morning after looking at a couple does who have gone downhill hard. I'm definitely scared
Next level care for those whitetails. It’s like club MED
I’ve noticed when trying to water whitetail deer theyll choose non chlorinated sources if available.
To have him put a stand that close shows he’s untrustworthy and no character. Keep up the great videos. I appreciate all your family hard work. ❤️
We appreciate you too!! Thanks for being here with us!
If only I had the time, money and resources....good for you and the deer though. Living vicariously through you guys. Keep it up
We are definitely very lucky and blessed as it’s pretty much our job too!
Thank u for watching.
Tiffany
Smart planning brother 👍, Don Higgins talks about the product of real world to help prevent EHD ,it takes all of us to help our deer , because DNR could careless about it!!!!
DNR is who plants the midge
@@bbbbbbb2357 o yes they are trying to control everything,they are watching people get rich off the hunting industry etc, just like trucking industry the laws they put on us truckers are down right ridiculous!!! Thanks for replying!!
Always loved Lee and tiff's content on CZcams and TV shows, they work so hard to keep such a nice farm and produce some monsters, quality deer management at its finest. Pls remind me what EHD is please, I apologize I don't remember what it means. Is it similar to chronic wasting disease? Blessings and best of health to you all and your families
Thank u!!!
Tiffany
Also, those cheap fly trap bags, are amazing. Will hold up to 20000 flies each.
Great video, I really hope it works for you.
Thank you, Dusty!
Just ordered my analogics n the mineral for the ponds! Can't wait
I just installed a stock tank about a week and a half ago. Unfortunately being in Illinois, we are extremely limited on what we can do in regards to feeding, mineral, etc.
We are moving into a La Nino weather phase, to last 4 to 6 years. May look in to it Lee!
It is definitely trending that way! Ill have to read up more about it, but I would have a hard time arguing with you on that one!
@@LeeandTiffanyLakosky In the U.S., El Niño is associated with wetter-than-average conditions from southern California to along the Gulf Coast, drier-than-average conditions in the Pacific Northwest and Ohio Valley, and the potential for warmer-than-average winter all across the northern part of the U.S.
Basically not good at all for us trying to help the deer and eat healthy and raise healthy food. Keep doing what you are doing. If I could do what you are doing, I would brother!
@@deerhuntingdadstv9278 The Climate has shifted because the Jet Stream has moved north 2.5 miles a year since records have been kept and that movement is increasing, most of North America will have a Texas Arizona Climate in a few years.
What was the deal with putting the stick in the 1st water hole you made?
To give small animals a way to get out of the tub.
Your definitely putting in the hard work to help the whitetail. I’d personally be concerned on the spraying part. Is spraying the field around them giving enough protection or even saving a worthy percentage of deer vs the potential effects on important insects? That widespread spraying may have a pretty significant impact on insect populations like bees and other pollinators that other wildlife depend on. I could see spraying potential hotspots like right around feeders but the whole field seems excessive and the negative may outweigh any potential benefit to the deer.
I'd like to learn more about the ticknology you spoke of. I wasn't able to find anything on google or the anilogics website. Would you mind pointing me in the right direction
Hey, I just wanted to add, I put fly traps over my little pond/water hole on a flower pot post..seems to really help. The ones you see for cows n horses.
I think that definitely helps!
Thank u!
Tiffamy
We invest so much time and money into our herds it’s good to see a way to fight ehd. We don’t have a huge ehd problem normally in the south but the Midwest does. Not sure why that’s the case.
I hope it don't hit too bad. I hope cwd don't hit us. We had our first few cases here in NC year before last so we will see...
What kind of sprayer and motor do you use for your atv to spray your food plots and whatever else? How big of tank?
Love the content. Keep it up! One suggestion would be to tell how the average Joe (who doesn’t have all the equipment and money to do it this way) can do something similar with more limited resources. Thx!
How do you adjust your hunting strategy with drought conditions? Assuming closer to water sources and alfalfa plots? Not something I have experienced in Maine. I enjoy your videos.
This is the epitome of what the hunting industry has turned into. Totally not relatable to the average hunter or what hunting truly is. Millions of dollars in land, equipment etc. None of this helps hunters or conservation and only helps promote the hunting industry who is so far out of touch with the reality of hunting.
Confusing comment. To me this is fantastic for conservation but to each their own.
Has nothing to do with conservation of our public hunting lands, game animals or what real hunting is all about.
Great info. What corn/bean/pellet ratio do you use and how does it change throughout the year?
We can post the actual formula later!
got to admire the dedication to year round maintenance and QDM these people put out - I'd love to know the yearly expenditures mathed out to per acre - I'm sure its astonishing and out of the reach of the modern-day hunter/landowner.
You don’t want to know!!! Somedays I’m like u gotta be kidding Lee!
Thank u for watching!
Tiffany
Awsome video Lee. Curious of that fogging. How often do you do that during the summer, an is it pet friendly to where you can do it right up around the house?? Thanks
Normally just when he sees those big swarms, it’s permathron and he doesn’t spray it super close to our house, we r actually working with organic materials on blends that are all natural and had some success!
Will keep u posted!
Tiffany
What is the name of the pellet?
If it's non-FDA approved, then you know it's safe and effective. Good job !! Gotta do what you gotta do.
I do this in NC but with smaller tubs. I put a stick in them so smaller animals can get out. Chipmunks, squirrels, etc get in but can’t get out. This gives them a way out. If not you may have a 100 gallons of stinky, tainted h2o.
Where is a link to your live cam to watch the deer
Here it is, Michael. We also updated the description with a link.

@@LeeandTiffanyLakosky Thank you so much
Wish you could just shoot bucks with a dissolvable dart vaccine. Great info and ideas Lee, Keep the content coming!
Thanks, lots more in the pipeline....including the first big game hunt of 2023! Stay Close
What scares me is TSE
Can you trap those coons? Amazing work that you do.
"PromoSM"
Would love to see you guys move away from monoculture food plots and discing the soil. A layer of thatch would do wonders for making your plots more drought resistant. would also cut down on mud and erosion issues.
I hate this...just when I want to buy in Iowa this hits.
It got my farm in Davis county back in 2011.
Kind of a jerk move for the neighbors to place a stand right there, it's legal yes but rude definitely. Glad you moved the road maybe it will teach them to do there own work.
That's all we can do, but yes...jerk move. Luckily we have ways around it!
Does this EHD effect Minnesota deer I wonder? I am going to do some looking into this and hopefully use your methods to help the deer, only problem is I live in a county where it's illegal to feed deer, so I'm looking into feeding the squirrels so they don't catch this. 😂
You guys are doing a good job doing all you can to help prevent it, but there is no EHD vaccine. Luckily a very few can survive EHD and those developed antibodies can be passed on to their fawns.
2 million dollars later.....
you just killed all the honey bees for about 4sq miles
Mother Nature will win over time!!!! You might save them this year but eventually she will win🤷♂️
So you're essentially selling an EHD vaccine? Holy sh*t.
I call it bullshit, they must endorse him
Wow interesting , so much time and effort not to mention money, sofar out of touch with the average hunter .
Hey Lee, in regards to your cameras and raccoons, I also use zip ties around the wires so coons cant dislodge the wire as my farm is 9 hours away in Missouri. works great many years in a row now, Ryan in Michigan
Question for Lee, which light do you run on your Spot Hogg sights?
The buffalo System would take care of most your issue
Better put water out
Grant from growing deer is the best
Hey Lee love the show but if you want to help ehd you should look at what causes it it's not a midge it's round up u want to stop it stop spraying for the season . Think about it have a good one
I almost used paxlovid lol.❤😂🫎🍔🌮🍜🍴🌯🍽️
