Blue Tongue

Getting going in 127, could be a big one.  Hard horned bucks this weak, lucky if they get to show them off.

They put down three whitetail in the city of Colville yesterday...blue tongue

Got a call last night, one of the ranches along hwy 25 has many dead deer, should hear more in next day or so.  I would suspect most of the areas north and south from Rice to be affected.

I know of one south of chewlah.
Deer falling down,sucked up,walking dead deer.
Friend called WDFW ,and county sheriff ,nobody would come out to put the deer down.
This was Sunday,talked to friend yesterday,still nobody showed up to even look at the dead deer.
I guess they told him blue tongue,with out even looking at it.

There might even be more cases that are not reported or WDFW are to busy to even respond. Which tells me if they are that busy there must be Alot of blue tongue cases.

'Might be more cases', a tiny fraction get reported.  We need talking ravens and coyotes to have a real number

Had any on your place?

If a deer needs to be put down...don't wait for anyone to do it...take care of it right then and there.....I know I'm not supposed to but I will not watch a deer suffer knowing it is going to die anyway.

[nwwanderer]

Not to bad yet, these guys plus coyotes and magpies are keeping up

[nwwanderer]

Try again, yikes, do not look at that!!!

[BULLBLASTER]

Bummer. Hopefully it doesnt take too many. They were just starting to rebound.

I Agree learned that lesson.

So I was just by my friends house ,that had the dead deer.
Just down the road a half eaten deer.
I was in chewlah little bit ago,Doe with two fawns.
She looked like a sack of bones.

They don't last long enough with EHD, Blue Tongue etc. to lose weight. She's probably a bag of bones from nursing the two brats all summer

We started catching whiffs of “dead” last week. Doesn’t seem too bad yet but there’s definitely a few dropping.
