Allforelk Report post Posted September 13, 2019 Not just deer, but quite a few dog owners I know in the the East Valley, including me, are saying the same thing. Looks like I’m looking into bots with whiskey tonight. Would it be a one nostril type thing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coffeeman Report post Posted September 13, 2019 About 5 years ago I killed a small mulie in unit 8 that had some really odd antlers. I hung him on a gambrel in my garage and while skinning it out 5-6 larvae "grubs" came out his nose. I thought it was bot flies nothing wrong with the meat just kinda freaked me out for a couple minutes. Plus it was late December not sure if that had anything to do with it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Benadryl has no effect on it. One nostril and not the other. I was diagnosed with Valley Fever a couple years ago and wonder if that may be it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
