Dead deer all over the roads in Bradley County.

I work in dalton, I've seen several on dalton pk recently including one decent buck at the intersection of of hwy 2

Eclipse has em rutting. Lol. Where I'm at I usually see 3 or 4 run over during the spring and summer but I haven't seen any this year so far

Call your local game warden and see if he knows any thing about it.

Wonder if the approaching tropical storm has any widespread effect. I saw a couple dead today in West TN.

They are eating the clover on the side of the roads

I have only seen one here in Cleveland and it got hit by a car. That's was close to Cleveland Middle School.

Meant to say that's all I have saw in the last week.

 

[knightrider]

my guess is they got run over :moon:

 

[rockytopmojo]

It's really odd to me. I have seen at least 10 in the last week.

What end of Cleveland?

EHD, Blue tongue, we have it in 20+ counties in East Tenn.

North end. Seen 3 off of N Lee hwy. just last week.

Although EHD seems to be bad this year in many East TN counties,
don't know any reason that would bring deer to the roads.
EHD infected deer go to water.

Suspect the deer population has simply increased,
plus, yes, there is often a different menu along the mowed roadsides,
such as preferred clover which may be harder to find away from mowed areas.

By the way, common that following an increased deer population,
EHD hits the higher deer density (or at least hits it harder than compared to lower density herds).

 

[Winchester]

Yep, high deer density areas just means more to get hit or bit!

I travel almost 20 miles to work daily from where I live on a 4 lane highway between here and Florence Alabama.................over the last 5 years we average at least one dead vehicle stuck deer per week now and I would venture to say it is getting closer to 2. Two weeks ago 3 in one night in a 300 yard stretch just outside Killen , ala. and one was a 1.5 year old buck. I hate it so!!

Testosterone boost for shedding of velvet creating a false chasing phase?
