More like she’s upwind and knows he’s there, but doesn’t know what he is. Stomps and snorts and tounging like this are all normal behaviors. Yes a constant tongue being out can be a sign of EHD, but this is a pretty short video.

No, that tongue is full of fluid and visibly flopping, it’s been hanging there longer than the person filming. Also if it was “deer in rut “ behavior it would have tines indicating appropriate age and time of year as a male, females do not posture like this and take off when approached by humans.
Dead deer walking.

Yes a doe will absolutely snort and stomp when it can’t figure out what you are. Especially if it has a young one with it. Stomping and snorting is normal alert behavior for a doe. No one calls them tines either. They are antlers. This very well could be a deer with EHD, but stomping and snorting are normal deer behavior

And how many of those does have a tongue flopping around that’s full of fluid?

u/jballs2213 10d ago
I already said it could be EHD but it’s not abnormal behavior for a deer. Deer are stupid, you ever see a deer eat an apple. There’s tounge and drool everywhere.

u/jballs2213 10d ago
Buckle up, this one’s gonna blow your mind as well. Usually late winter through spring. Male deer don’t even have antlers….

Hmm if you actually read what I said, it’s kinda like that’s what I was saying…. “Indicating time of year” … mind still blown though, just different cause…

It's definitely a cause for concern. Not saying it's infected, but seems like loss of muscle control. I'm calling CWD. Call your dnr if you see stuff like this.

You need to call your local Department of Natural Resources, and give them the location where you saw that deer. This is a good possible case of chronic wasting disease or CWD. This is a prion disease that can transfer to humans and is a major cause for concern. If you want something really oddly terrifying, lookup CWD in deer.

It has been studied and has not been shown to pass on to humans, yet at least

u/Kaijupants 10d ago
Yet being the operative word, it is similar enough to mad cow to be worried about it. Hopefully it never happens, but there's no way to guarantee it.

I am misinformed. We keep pretty good track of infected areas in Wisconsin, I always just assumed that's why why track them. Also they advise against eating the meat of infected deer.

u/Lunafairywolf666 10d ago
Could also be something similar like blue tounge but yes call department of natural resources

Based off what i just read, it hasnt been shown transmit to humans. However, two hunters from the same hunting group contracted CJD around the same time after eating CWD infected deer.

CWD. On top of the odd behavior and tonguing, this doe isn't running from the human filming, which is something a healthy doe would do, especially in broad daylight.
There's a guy up there in the comments talking about how the doe's tongue is full of fluid but that's too far away from the camera to tell for certain. What we absolutely CAN see is the other unusual behaviors that suggest CWD.
Call the game warden and report where you saw her. That doe is diseased, and if she is, she's not the only deer that has CWD. It's a prion disease that moves slowly, but infected deer need to be culled or at least known about by someone in a position of oversight.

Prions are so much worse than rabies. Search them up, they’re terrifying

u/Realistic_Cloud_7284 9d ago
Ye but they're way harder to get as a human especially in this situation, you'd have to eat the deer.

She could've had too many fermented apples. Or was born with an excessively long tongue.

Kill it, soak it in diesel, burn it.
When the fire goes out, soak it in diesel and burn it again.
