Dead Deer in a Bad Way

[Dylan585]

At the property i hunt there were 2 dead deer found... One was still stiff as a board so it hadn't been dead for long and found early today and the other one was found yesterday... Neither show signs of CWD and neither have a hole anywhere! We are all at a loss! Anybody have any ideas? The DEC is going to be contacted but figured id check here too... Attached is a pic of the one that was still stiff

Is there a road near by? Could of been hit by vehicle

That sucks! She looks like a yearling. Hope it's not something that can affect the local heard.

[Dylan585]

The nearest road is about a mile from where they were found and neither had broken legs... The other deer was older but still looked perfectly healthy

Cook thoroughly, she'll be fine

I heard of the same thing today in Hamlin. Buck and doe found with no visible issues. DEC took both deer, if I hear anything I will post it.

These were on Rt. 19 around a mile north of 104... DEC will be getting call first thing in the morning... The only thing I can think isthat maybe an area farmer is poisoning them

[whaler1]

That's interesting. Definitely give them a call.

Did you talk to the DEC today?

[Dylan585]

Communication issues with my friend that owns the land... He talked to his friend who is a DEC officerike the DEC is going to come take them tomorrow... Another weird thing is no coyotes... 6 gut piles that haven't been touched in over a week

[Dylan585]

*officer and it looks like

[whaler1]

Coyotes are funny. I have a roadkill in the back of my yard every winter. Some times they are absolutely hammered and others they don't get touched for days or even weeks. We keep a trailcam next to the motion detector and it gives us a good idea of what's been around.

[whaler1]

Lol here's a pic of the first one a minute later when it met the 204. Trailcams are cool

[Dylan585]
