Had a male fawn dead in the yard the other morning. No signs of trauma. Anything going on here as far as disease? Deer looked healthy, other than not breathing.

Deer looked healthy, other than not breathing. doc 09-10-2007, 10:53 Did a little research and found out there is an outbreak of EHD is Illinois. Bob 09-10-2007, 11:02 I've read of some local outbreaks of EHD gretchensteele 09-10-2007, 11:39 A friend found one the other day that seemed "paralyzed" in it's hind quarters...loaded it up and took him to the vet..vet seemed to think that it was from too many tick bites...and that some times the fawns are temporarily disabled when their immune systems go into overdrive? Long story short the little guy perked up and was released back into the woods where he came from..hopping and skipping all the way....

My neighbor has captive deer that he is planning to market the deer pee etc from....currently, they are just in a large holding type pen...hmmm not sure I have seen them lately now that I think about it.... scott huschle 09-10-2007, 18:14 Found a nice 7pt at my place in freeburg sunday afternoon dead still in velvet, and the deer looked to be perfectly healthy.I was told it maybe had blue tongue disease, is this the same as EHD? FunGusAmonGus 09-10-2007, 21:10 have seen a blog on another news site from MO sayin they are finding dead deer there also... DetectDave 10-08-2007, 19:34 Saw a nice doe dead today by the neighbors pond. The local Case dealer stopped by and said one of his mechanics had found 14 over the weekend dead while bow hunting. Full Draw 10-08-2007, 21:08 Saw a nice doe dead today by the neighbors pond. The local Case dealer stopped by and said one of his mechanics had found 14 over the weekend dead while bow hunting. Wow this is bad news. Where was this at? I found 3 dead this weekend. 2 of them were laying next to one of our small ponds on our 85 acres in hamilton county. DetectDave 10-09-2007, 05:20 I can't remember where he said it was. It kind of rattled me a bit and once we finished yacking and I got home, I said..now where the heck did he say that was? Somewhere fairly close to us (Freeburg) gretchensteele 10-09-2007, 05:26 I am happy to say I haven't found any that weren't abviously struck by vehicles... Smokey Mc Pot 10-09-2007, 07:05 somwone told me that in the past week he has pulled 4 out of his lake with blue tounge and somwone else told me he has pulled 5 out of his lake but im not sure who did they were in coulterville G prolly knows them but yea i think herman huff pulled 4 out of his pond you know herman G gretchensteele 10-09-2007, 07:34 I didn't realize Herman even had a pond...I guess he has the old Huff home place over by Swanwick? BTW Smoke - I keep forgetting to ask you or your Dad..there's a brand spanking new tree stand out at the lake..I'm thinking it isn't one of you guys, and I have sneaking feeling it's not one that Mr. Geggie would want back there...it's right on the very edge of reids property, but unless I am wrong about the property lines, it's not on their ground..up on top where they are digging the new lake.. I could be wrong about the property lines though..so much has changed hands out there... Full Draw 10-09-2007, 08:04 I called the project manager this morning and reported the dead deer to him. It only took a few minutes. I think it is a good idea to keep them informed so that they can keep an eye on it. Here is what the press release says about calling... Landowners or hunters who witness a deer exhibiting signs of EHD, especially near a creek or pond, can assist agency efforts to monitor the extent of the disease by reporting it to IDNR Deer Project Manager Tom Micetich at (309) 543-3316, extension 231.
