NitroAZ Report post Posted July 19, 2010 I rolled up on this sick doe yesterday. I can only speculate what was wrong with her, It was sad to see. Times like this it would be nice if we were allowed to do a mercy killing. Here is a link to the video Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CouesWhitetail Report post Posted July 19, 2010 Where was this? You should let AGFD know. They might be able to find her, put her down and test her to find out what is wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

couesdiehard Report post Posted July 19, 2010 Hate to even say it but she is showing some symptoms that I've heard are common to Chronic Wasting Disease. God I hope she doesn't have that. It would be nice for G&F to test her. Lee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bucks N Bulls Report post Posted July 19, 2010 I would a put her down. Hate to see an animal suffer. I've called G&f before on an animal and waited. Nobody ever showed up. A buddy of mine recently called G&F on a jvelina. The lady at game and fish If it is still there tomarrow we may send someone. Guess what they didn't come the next day either.

I sent it to Jim Heffelfinger (he is in the Tucson office) and Brian Wakeling (PHX office). Feel free to contact whoever at Tucson AGFD. I am very sure they would like to know.

CouesWhitetail Report post Posted July 20, 2010 NitroAZ gave AGFD the info on the location of the doe and AGFD went out to find her yesterday. They did find her, she was dead. Apparently she had a dead fawn inside her that rotted and the infection from that is likely what killed her. Thanks to Nitro for reporting this promptly and for the time and effort AGFD put into it. The poor doe...it was a sad thing to see.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NitroAZ Report post Posted July 20, 2010 Just a little closure on this. After calling the Tucson office of G&F, they put me in contact with Martin Guerena the unit manager. After we spoke he ran out to the area, after looking for a short time he located the doe which had died about 50 yards from where I had last seen her. As he walked up on her he noticed a fox eating on her as well as a few vultures. After inspecting her he found what seemed to be a close to full term fawn in her. He says the fawn had been dead inside of her for quite some time. As the fetus rotted this a number of problems for the doe including neurological issues which explains some of her odd behavior. Too sad!!!! BTW, I was very impressed with how the Dept handled this, from their rapid response to the follow up call I received from Martin. Keith Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
