I got my first pictures back from the stealth cam tonight. First I was thrilled that I had deer and one racoon on the pictures. Then I noticed that the ribs were REALLY sticking out on one of the deer and when I looked closer I saw that the hips kinda stuck out on several of them and I could see the backbone on one. I didn' t see any bucks. We have no known cases of CWD in VA and I can' t imagin how it would get to central VA without being seen in other parts first, but I' m concerned about it. I' m probly gonna contact the game warden tomorrow to get these pictures to someone who can tell me I' m just an idiot. If they are not sick, I can' t figure out how the deer could be this thin. I know it' s here around my house, but there are 30 acres back there and woods all around and hundreds of acres of forest about half a mile from here.I' ll try to get the pictures scanned tomorrow.

I am completely bummed out.
