Zeke-BE Report post Posted November 10, 2015 I got to my unit Thursday the day before the hunt to do some scouting. We found a little spike in a wash. It try's to get up and then runs right side in circles, around and around and around until it falls. It can't go anywhere and can't turn left only right. We got up to 3 feet of the guy and wants to run away but just runs in a tight circle. We had video but it won't let me load it from my phone and won't let me send it to my email. Any ideas what is causing this problem for this deer?????? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

creed_az_88 Report post Posted November 10, 2015 Probably fell and damaged some nerves in his neck or something. Maybe an infection from something or a tumor growing in his head. Could be multiple things but I'm guessing infection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pine Donkey Report post Posted November 10, 2015 Maybe he has spent his entire life on a steep hillside and his right legs are shorter than his left legs. You spooked him on flat ground and all he could do in run in circles on those short tight legs. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest 300ultramag. Report post Posted November 10, 2015 This is actually a really good question and I've been waiting for it to come up. Without getting all technical on you The hippocampus is disrupted by its congregated synopsis, causing the thesis to envelope in the minor bicuspid that impregnates and saturates the potassium pumps that will eventually make it Down towards his right rectum (never the left) and off sets the vertigo leading to a circular motion in the field. Or it could have mad coues? Not sure. Poor dude either way 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucky Draw Report post Posted November 10, 2015 I saw an elk do the same thing a few years ago. Talked to a biologist and they said it was likely in the final stages of a pretty awful way to go. The arterial worm slowly cuts off the oxygen supply to the brain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoss50 Report post Posted November 11, 2015 When I was a younger, probably about 8, my dad's group bagged a mule deer in 20a. When they spotted him he was at the top of a big hill and when they shot he ran off, then came back around, and around, and around until someone finally put him down. He had a very large wart over 1 eye that basically blinded him in that direction and when he ran while spooked he kept running in circles. Probably not the case here but still something that I found interesting and have seen with my own eyes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
