Had too put this mule deer down today. I walked within 15 feet of her. She was suffering the latter stages of brain worm. Called the warden and got permission and so they could record it. We have a lot of muleys and whitetail and from what I’ve read about it this happens where they live in the same place.

Sad Deal

I hunted Muleys a lot as Kid in Wyoming

Amazing Animals

Dang that stinks

How did the mule deer doe act?

Are deer still safe to consume after getting brain worms?

They act dumbstruck then near the end they walk in circles, had a buck last year it looked healthy but lost all fear of people.

Do they do like elk? Walk in circles? Emaciated? Sounds like it let you get close to it like elk do.

Yea they walk in circles and lose fear of people. If they live long enough total paralysis will occur.

Sad, there seem to be more sickness in our wild animals these days.

Its True

I don't think there is any more, you just hear about it now. What are the chances of someone from out of state hearing about this before computers? Often the same story is listed fro 10 states for years saying it was their neighbor that found it yesterday.

Brain worm does that to our moose around here.
