[QUOTE="Dumbluck, post: 5261713, member: 22434"] Hey everyone. I have had a mysterious problem happening on one farm that I can't figure out. I need your help. We have been seeing deer with injured ankles almost like they are getting them caught in a snare or something. The wound gets infected and kills them. We had to put down one of our good younger bucks yesterday morning because of it and I just talked to a neighbor and he had to do the samething yesterday as well. I've seen 2 other bucks and 2 does this year with the same injury. Last year we lost our best up and coming buck to this issue as well. So I think it's safe to say we are losing a good number of deer to this, since we actually know of this many active cases. Photos are attached of yesterday's deer. He had damage on this front right and rear right ankle and could barely move. His rack fell off when he hit the ground. The neighbors buck had damage to his right rear ankle and his rack fell off as well. Last years buck I found dead had damage to his right rear ankle. I watched a doe in archery season that had her right rear ankle and hoof heavily damaged. I have seen deer with damaged hoofs from EHD but this looks to be something totally different. Any input is appreciated, we just want to figure out what this could be and what could cause it. [/QUOTE]
