Deer Hunting

Are does more likely to get "blue nose" during hot dry summers.

The past two years have been hot and dry in southern illinois. We have had a considerable number of deaths due to "blue nose." We have witnessed at least 2 and found several more carcasses. I'm wondering if does are more likely to contract it because of the stresses of raising fawns. This fall I saw very few what I would call older does. I saw mainly fawns and yearlings. Or its is just indiscriminant taking the unlucky.
