Omg that really sucks.

This was mentioned at my gun club meeting on Wednesday night. I wouldn’t have known about it. This really sucks

It’s widespread, much more than they think. At this rate won’t be anything left by the season. My friend in fishkill been in the woods for 10 minutes and found 2 dead and is now watching a bedded doe die...

This happened in Rockland County about 10 years ago. I saw 12 dead deer in a small wooded lot.
My friend works for the highway dept and they were picking up multiple dead deer everyday.

Very sad to see.

What a shame! I've been out checking the water sources this past week around my hunting areas ( wurtsboro and rock hill) and thankfully nothing that I have seen. Hopefully it didn't' reach this far north.

This is scary stuff, what r some symptoms? I had a nice buck show up with a swollen and hurt upper leg

[Yotehntr]

Basically high fever, and foaming/drooling from the mouth. Doesn’t sound like that deer has it, but maybe? . Easy way to tell if your spot has it, is walk the water sources. Hopefully it stays out of ulster county, that’s where I’ll probably be this year, at this point

I’m in Campbell Hall right on the Washingtonville border. I have a pond in my backyard. When I got home tonight after dark I can smell something dead.  Going to check in the morning

[Yotehntr]

We found 1 buck and 5 does in one small pond yesterday, in rock tavern. It’s getting ridiculous over 30 dead in my neighborhood, that we know of. Yesterday in 400 yd stretch of creek 13 bodies.

Cambel hall area definitely has it, driving down 207 can smell death, where where streams cross the rd. Let us know what you find

Im pretty sure this disease is not contagious. It comes from a bug bite and wont spread from deer to deer. Hey Yote, im in union vale in Dutchess. Haven’t heard of any dead animals yet here. Would like to know what town in southern dutchess. You can pm me if u prefer

[grazan]

one of my original posts has an info sheet on it … not contagious from deer to deer … the vector is the NO SEE UMS fly

Garrison up through fishkill and from what I’ve seen, mostly on river side of mountains. In Orange County, mostly goshen Campbell hall Rock tavern.Some spots get hit very hard, while you can go a mile away and not see any signs of it. I think the concentration of deer in area and the availability of water, is the big thing. If there’s a lot of deer visiting one area of water, that’s swarming with midges. It’s bad news. One farm in Goshen had 26 dead

Hey yote just incase u or any friends are collecting any of the horns from the decaying carcass be very carefull not to get any bacteria into a cut.  I almost lost a finger in less then 24hrs was put on iv and i have friends who got a bad infection also. Dangorous stuff.

[Yotehntr]

Wow, that’s pretty crazy. Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully I don’t come across anymore. I’m keeping fingers crossed on a couple, that live in the zones. In the 30’s tonight. It might slow it down. We’re Still Seeing sick deer. Feel bad for them
