Zackary11keeme Report post Posted July 13, 2020 Saw this raghorn in unit 1 yesterday while out walking with my wife and kids. Watched him for a few minutes before realizing he just didn’t seem right. Expected him to bolt with the kids being loud and the 2 year old screaming but he didn’t care at all. He seemed super confused, unsteady at times and did this spin for minutes at a time. I walked to about 30 yards from him in the open and there was no fear in him. He then laid down where is in the video (less than 100 yds from our camp) a little before 4 and got up right before 7. First thing I thought was CWD but wanted to see what you guys think? IMG_1486.mov Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Delw Report post Posted July 13, 2020 I cant see the video very well but did he have 3 legs? I remember I saw a duck who swam circles constantly he only had one leg. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
