Title: Dead Deer in yard, no apparent injury...
Post by: COUG on October 27, 2011, 01:23:15 PM
My Father in Law found this guy on their driveway yesterday.  The driveway does lead to a road but there was no noticable wounds or skid marks on the road.  looks like a young healthy animal. 

I do all of my blacktail hunting near there and now I wonder if there is a disease.  Sent the game dept. an email but haven't heard back yet.  Thoughts?

Are you sure he's dead? It seems like the deer are getting smarter. Maybe he is just playing opossum until the season is over.

No blood in the nose, no soft ribs.  I may stay away from that area until I hear back.  From my research CWD is still east of the Columbia.

Call your regional WDFW office (Mill Creek?) directly and ask for the biologist.

I say it was hit and injured by a car.

Did you flip the deer over and inspect the other side?
Title: Re: Dead Deer in yard, no apparent injury...
Post by: h2ofowlr on October 27, 2011, 07:30:02 PM
May have been hit some distance from that location and it was internal damage.  That was all the further it made it.

I think it was a suicide, he couldnt take the stress of living under WDFW's management anymore. :chuckle:

Looks kind of skinny?  Starving maybe?  Coulds be internal issues.

Not all biological creatures need to have a man caused injury to die. I read some propaganda in a science class outside of Washington that sometimes there are genetic deformities that can lead to things like a heart attack or an aneurysm with no human cause and effects related links! What's most amazing is there are several animals in this State that die having never seen a human.  :yike:

I know, I know, the books say it's all our fault. But....,what if they are wrong???

Well as it turns out the county road crew grabbed him before i could get the gamies to take a look.  Now if i see another one dead then i might get a little freaked out

From the way his eyes appear to be glassed over I would suspect an 8 ball/Percoset/Mailbu Coke interaction.   With three days left they have started to party early...

 :yike: :yike: :yike: :yike: :yike:  Darn it!  They beat me to it!  Give me a holler and I will provide on-site testing which starts by gutting, cleaning and skinning.  Once I've examined the animal without it's hide I will then proceed to load it in my truck and bring it back to my "lab" for further testing.  After I've deboned the meat I will store them in separate wrapping sections inside the "freezer" to keep the meat from spoiling so I can provide further "testing" at a later date.  The "Extensive Testing" process usually takes anywhere from a month to 3 months to complete but, once the meat is all gone I will let you know the results. :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

Now that is a hard core meat-a-tarian!! I like your style.  Plateau you can do the same thing.  Get in that "rez rider" you talked about with the steel bumper and drive up and down the Yakima Canyon.  You'll never go hungry promise.   :chuckle:

Most likely hit by a car and died of internal injuries. You don't have to see any external injuries for there to be bleeding internally.

When I was in highschool we ended up doing disections on fresh killed deer from the dept of fish and wildlife. I took a class on that for wildlife management. One of the deer we disected ended up having 5 pellets in his head... So we found out what killed that deer that was found on private property in Yelm.
So very much this buck could have been shot by a pellet gun.
