Water Rat Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 I spoke to their biologist a few days ago regarding a sick looking doe. He asked me if I thought it was EHD and I told him no. He requested that I get in touch with him if I see anymore infected deer. Other than CWD and rabies , I'm not sure what other diseases deer get. I wish I knew what is infecting the local deer around my house. I hate to see them suffer like this. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rachunter Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 That’s brutal to look at. The doe wasn’t as bad but still sucks. You should try and email him those pics and get someone out there ASAP Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Water Rat Posted October 2, 2021 Author Share Posted October 2, 2021 I would try to put them down but they always show up after dark. Besides which , they are too many houses and a grade school near me to discharge a gun.....bow maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might stop by my house this week after he looks at these photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jperch Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Wow, two mature deer. It would appear something bad is going on. I do hope someone will be able to put them down and end their suffering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robhuntandfish Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Ugh that is terrible. Got to be more than a coincidence with two deer in the same spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robhuntandfish Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 This says the most noticed symptom of CWD is weight loss. https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/what-are-visual-signs-chronic-wasting-disease?qt-news_science_products=0#qt-news_science_products But I would think most deer disease would prob have that too? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grampy Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 If this is indeed CWD, hunting as we know it now, will never be the same for much of NYS Hopefully just some sort of intestinal disease from a local water source? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have not had a case since 2005 in the wild and behind fence. Hate to say it but that’s not EHD. That gives them fever and dead within days. Is this anywhere close to the Pa border? They have piles of cases of cwd and hunting moves along. Hate to say it but DEC will not Pursue this because they don’t want CWD found in the wild first but Dept Of Ag would be all over it if notified. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gobbler Chaser Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Is it possible they are just two aging deer near the end of their existence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
