WvBowhunterKE Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 I went to my river behind my house and went back to one of my favorite fishing spots and found a deer in the middle of the river and I pulled it out. I brought it onto the river bank but I couldn't find any cause for its death...I dont think it could have drowned but...Well I dont know... Any thoughts ?

popgun Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Re: Have you ever found a deer dead with no damage. If your weather has been as warm as we had it here at the beginning of the season it could be heat stroke. Several nice bucks (almost always bucks) were found dead on one of the wildlife management areas here, always near, or in the water. After examination by the state biologists, they determined it to be heat stroke related to chasing does in hot weather. (early November) One even called it "sexual stress" but that is sort of a stretch. ....popgun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Re: Have you ever found a deer dead with no damage. Yep. Tom and I found a little buck last year in late January. We rolled him around, looked for injury, the only thing we found was a skinned knuckle. Only thing we could figure was that maybe it got it's leg wedged in a tree or something and starved . Weird.

Steven Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Re: Have you ever found a deer dead with no damage [ QUOTE ] Finding a deer without damage could be a ton of different things. Aside from old age what could it be? [/ QUOTE ] A broken heart. Or curiosity. If it can kill a cat, why not a deer? Or maybe somebody gave it a 'look that killed', or killed it with kindness. Quite possibly it just died laughing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Xen Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Re: Have you ever found a deer dead with no damage had to be an overdose. be sure to nail pictures of it on trees throughout the woods so that the younger deer know the harsh reality of what an overdose can do. be sure to place the pictures near the salt licks as well.
