Problem is no one knows what killed it. This is the third dead Buck they have found on this ranch this season. All found in water with no signs of trauma. Its a friend of a friend thing so I don't know anymore than that.

Sounds like EHD. It's a deadly disease that has been affecting deer all over the country this year worse than usual. Deer that die of EHD are usually found in/near some kind of big water source. One of the side effects makes them incredibly thirsty. Lots of big deer have been dropping from it in the Midwest and Northeast all summer/early fall. Haven't heard of any major reports from LA or the deep South.

Here's what EHD is from Wikipedia:
Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease (EHD) is an orbivirus that infects White-tailed Deer in the northeastern and midwestern United States. The virus is transmitted by the Culicoides biting midge. The EHD virus is closely related to the Bluetongue virus and crossreacts with it on many blood tests. The virus has an incubation period of approximately one week, during which the animal may transmit the virus to biting midges. After the development of symptoms (which include internal hemorrhage, weakness, high fever, bruising, and dyspnea) the animal dies within 8 to 36 hours."

We've had a few episodes of this here in Virginia, also. If memory serves me right, EHD has a correlation with drought conditions. Water levels drop and these midges reproduce in the exposed mud and infect the deer when they come to drink.
