It gets worse I am afraid for the deer population. I think there are too many in certain areas and they can tend to get wiped out from a disease that could impact all of them. I think there another disease that is even worse called Chronic Wasting Disease that is spreading as well. It is said if it shows up it can pass from deer to deer from urine and feces and it can last in the soil for up to 10 years. If that were to happen that could wipe out deer populations in areas for decades.
They also warn people not to handle certain parts of dear showing signs of the disease since they are not certain it cannot be transmitted to humans.
I think there needs to be more proactive herd management strategies enacted in densely populated deer herds.
