Deer Squirts

[thomas89]

Shot a young buck this afternoon.

Appeared very healthy, good fat, feeding when I shot him, couple does close by.

The only off thing… was diarrhea. His whole hind end was covered in it. Back of his legs, tail, between his rear quarters.

What gives? I did not cut into the stomach to see if he had been eating lots of grain or corn. Probably had access within a mile any direction to corn/grain/bird feeders.

Pretty orangey fat on him.

Very close to several custard/burger joints as well. Have not ruled it out.

There’s something wrong with that buck. There’s an infection somewhere . Skin him and you’ll find it.

Already skinned. Didn’t see anything really out of the ordinary. One random small puncture wound mid rib not from my shot, very fresh so not sure that infection set in yet. Going to call the DNR tomorrow and see what they say now that I’m thinking about it.

Where is the blood? Those guts are really clean.
