I've never seen that before but i certainly wouldn't eat it

RE: Q, ABOUT MY DEER MEAT!
 

I wouldn't eat it. And is it legal to kill 3 deer in a day?

RE: Q, ABOUT MY DEER MEAT!
 

coyote bait right there. so the meat won't go to a complete waste.

RE: Q, ABOUT MY DEER MEAT!
 

Mercy killing there, and it wouldn't be outside the lines of good judgment to let a DNR officer or local wildlife biologist get a look see at her if its not too late. And +1 on the don't eat the meat, figure that goes without saying. I wouldn't have even "skun" her myself ;)

RE: Q, ABOUT MY DEER MEAT!
 

Yes, in a lot of states. In theory, I could shoot 7 in one day. Of course I cant remember the last time that I saw 7 deer in one day, but if I had the tags, it would be legit.

RE: Q, ABOUT MY DEER MEAT!
 

correct in the county i was in it is unlimited doe, and 2 buck, with each weapon, bow, gun , ml,

yes i tossed that meat to the yotes, sadest thing i had to do in a while, but i cant take the risk of letting the family eat that meat

I wonder if she hadn't got struck by a car sometime.

RE: Q, ABOUT MY DEER MEAT!
 

I say good job for taking her out and not letting her suffer. Im glad you didnt keep the meat. Congrats

RE: Q, ABOUT MY DEER MEAT!
 

You should have taken to local wildlife agency just in case but props on ending her suffering

RE: Q, ABOUT MY DEER MEAT!
 

I wouldn't eat it use it for coyote bait

RE: Q, ABOUT MY DEER MEAT!
 

you might have wanted to take it to your dnr first and showed them-it could've had cwd or something. it's spreading(luckily not up here in nw ohio - yet)at an alarming rate in more and more areas.

probally hit by car and bladder or something interenal busted

Who fed you that line?

RE: Q, ABOUT MY DEER MEAT!
 

I would have taken her to the wildlife office. Don't eat it!!!

Concur with letting DNR know and not wasting a tag on it.
BTW, only 100 lb does? Where you hunting? By now, here in central Iowa, the first year fawns are weighing in at 125. Aaaah, the joys of corn fed venison.
I saw 3 today when I was out changing the card in my game camera. A real nice doe that would weigh in about 160 I'd guess, with her two fawns trailing, easily at 125 each. Unfortunately, first shotgun season doesn't open until tomorrow.

Sounds like some sort of flu like symptoms. More than likely not CWD which is not really shown to be spreading due to, eradication of deer herds, containment efforts. I personally would have done the same thing except i would have informed the dnr so they could do some testing if they wanted to.
