Found a dead buck

Back home for the 4th and was checking a canal I'm going to use to flood a duck field. Found this about halfway down. No signs of a bullet entry.
Should I call out the GW to get it tested for disease or is this not a big deal?

EHD. They go to water when they are dying. Happens every year. Some years not so bad, others worse. Google EHD.

Adams says in short "EHD is a viral disease and the most common whitetail disease. It's transmitted by biting midges, commonly called no-see-ums, and it happens every year." During the first few days, the infected deer might look and act normal or possibly show minor signs of illness. After the first week symptoms become more apparent and can include depression, fever, swelling in the head, neck, tongue or eyelids, difficulty breathing, loss of appetite and the deer could loose its fear of man. Then it gets worse. Some deer develop ulcers on their tongue or have the thick pad on the roof of their mouth begin to erode. To make matters worse, fluid can build up in the lungs and the lining of the rumen can scar. As the symptoms worsen fever sets in and the deer seek out water - that's why infected deer are usually found dead around water sources.

Interesting thanks for sharing. I'll bury it deep with the tractor so no other critters get in it

Damn bro. Needed one more year.
On the serious side that sucks. It always seems like when you find a dead deer it always a buck, young or old.
Also, did you puke, cause I bet that shite stank!

Just out of curiosity, I'd like to know how this was studied.

Reminds me of that scene from Dances with Wolves where he's clearing out his pond

To answer your question, yes I would definitely call the GWs. Hopefully they would take samples and confirm what the deer died from but I agree that it's probably EHD.
It's tough to see big deer like that dead.

Doesn't look like CWD but please do your part and contact WLF for them to check it out.
Mind if I ask the general location?
Others suggesting EHD are likely right. They are most vulnerable when they are in velvet. Those little bugs can bit the soft antlers and get into the blood stream much easier than they can penetrate a hide. This is why it always seems to be velvet bucks and not does

First thought that popped into my mind as well.

That's really interesting, I always wondered that and it makes sense.

Call green jeans.. Looks curiously suspicious to me.

Shortly after my folks got married in Mississippi, they were driving at night on a back road and hit a huge buck that really fricked up their car. While they were surveying the damage to their car a big truck came by, stopped just long enough to throw the buck in the back and haul arse outta there. Didn't ask if they needed help or anything (this was in 1975), just scooped up that prize and bolted.
