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.

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!

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

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

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.
