Dead deer
Are any of you shed hunters finding any dead deer? I was wondering if this long harsh winter is taking a toll. It's getting towards the end of March and there is still some snow in some areas, with more on its way. So far I haven't heard of many dead ones.

Re: Dead deer
I only found 1 dead doe and she had been there for at least a month.

Re: Dead deer
These are just 3 I took pictures of, but probably found 10 dead ones. All of them were coyote kills after we got the huge blizzard.

he is alive! I was walking through some tall marsh grass along the edge of some thick brush and my dog was about 20 yards off to my side walking parrellel to me. I noticed him stop and looking at something, so I walked over by him. He was smelling the dead deer and then I noticed the possum, This is when I panicked! The possum was sitting facing my dog with its teeth showing and my dogs nose was no more than 6 inches from the possums. He didn't even no the possum was their because it was playing dead. If he would have noticed the possum it could of been ugly.

Re: Dead deer
This is the first spring in a long time I haven't found a dead deer. I usualy average about 5 and the most I found was 10 a few years ago when we had over 100" of snow in southern WI.

Re: Dead deer
I have been walking a few pieces of public land around where i live and have found 5 dead deer so far and one shed. Did find one nice ten point buck. Disappointing that he died, but it was a really nice deer.
Guess I'm a good dead deer finder. Too bad I can't say the same for the sheds.

Re: Dead deer
Found 5 dead deer today, but only 2 were from this year. One looked to be a doe fawn and the other was a mature doe. Could not tell what killed them.

Re: Dead deer
Found this young guy not far from a bedding area. This is the same buck that I watched scent trail a doe I had shot with my bow back in Nov. My guess is he was hit during gun season
