    Nice job reporting it. I would hope they take the numbers and consider the amount of permits issued.

    Bummer man that really sucks. The way he is by the creek makes it look like EHD. Who knows. Good job reporting it though.

    being he's a mature deer and died near water; I'd say likely EHD also.

    That rarely happens, especially to a mature buck, unless he is already injured.

    Probably EHD.
