Details:
Have you seen this before?
Have you notified any other agencies?
No. I do wonder if it is simply from hunger/starvation, or if it is from chronic wasting disease. Deer in the area have not been looking sick or stumbling, but the occasional one has not been showing normal fear of people or dogs.
