Without real details to go by I would suggest it was shot or hit by a car. Unlikely to be a disease. Dee can go along ways after an accident with a car.

Wouldn't be surprised if someone hasn't picked it up yet. deer on the side of the road simple call to opp and/or MNR to report it and back of the vehicle it goes. Picked up a few over the years never an issue.
All MNR stuff is online now, just take it home and go online to get a confirmation number, no need to even call in.Quote:

Honestly, the last number of times I called the MNR, the deer would spoil before you actually were able to talk to a human being.
A lot of bucks get injured fighting other bucks in the rut...this one may of well met his match and died from the fight in front of your friend. Sad thing to happen but it happens

Hasn't been a problem yet though
This is the number to call if you dont have access to a computer and want to have the form sent.The report of possession must be made "immediately" but apparently you are allowed to transport the animal home and go online or order the form.
1 855 613 4256 Press #3.
Doesn't need to be reported to the police. Just take it and get permit to possess online.

ANyways, I hope someone can at least salvage that buck and get something from it. Thanks for posting
Merry Christmas!
In past MNR has just wanted the sex and location of any deer I reported. Some Monday mornings the girl in our office has 8-10 to process...
