So I found a dead deer...
... lying near my house. No obvious sign of injury. What exactly does one do in this situation? I want it gone before decay sets in, and my dog decides to roll in it.
Call the DNR? Missing Pet Deer Society?

My wife, an RN, is at the grocery store; I’ll let her try when she gets home. No hurry, right?

Always a chance it's still suffering i silence. Do you own a maul?

A gentle kick to the thorax got no reaction; it is dead. No discernible maul wound either.

Would not attempt resuscitation if a DNR is in place. Call wildlife management.

Is it puffed up yet? Still might be able to field dress it and get it to the butcher.

Poke it with a stick first. You might have completed this step.

Load it up in your truck and haul it to the woods and dump it. Scavengers will thank you.

I guess it matters where it was found. Next to the road, I’d consider it. Next to the leach pond of the paper mill....probably not. Originally Posted by Mazderati

^^^ It was one of about 8 who have been occasionally sleeping on my land for the last month or two. My neighborhood is mainly 6-acre parcels of juniper scrub, all fenced and cross-fenced. Lots of horses, some llamas and sheep. I can’t imagine anyone putting out poison, but who knows.

Im going to guess it was hit by a car and made it your property where it laid up and died.

Slit the throat. Dress it. Eat it.
A few people feel the rain. Most people just get wet.

If you do not have a Game Commission or similar agency to call for info on the State laws (each is going to be different) then an option could be to move it or just dig and bury it so the dog or other vermin will not get to it....

Have the local animal control service dispose of deer. Go buy prime bone in ribeye. Originally Posted by wooley12

If really fresh I would dress it out and salvage any meat possible. Without seeing how it died, i.e. Hit by car, I wouldn't touch the meat.
Internal injury. Many hit deer won't bleed or show external signs of trauma. It will cost you about $100 to have a state agency to dispose of it.
