Ho-hum: Another deer carcass found on the side of the road

In the past few months, there seems to be an increase of deer carcasses found on the side of the road. While this may seem like a trivial issue, it is actually an indicator of larger environmental concerns.

Deer are often hit by cars as they try to cross roads in search of food. This roadside buffet has become increasingly prevalent as suburban sprawl encroaches on their natural habitats. As a result, deer populations are continually growing and pushing into new territories.

This poses a problem for two reasons. First, as the deer population increases, so does the likelihood of them coming into contact with humans. Second, as deer spread out into new areas, they are coming into contact with new strains of ticks that can carry Lyme disease. In fact, Connecticut has seen a threefold increase in Lyme disease cases over the past decade.

So what can be done to mitigate this issue? There are a few steps that can be taken:

1)Encourage drivers to slow down in areas where deer are known to roam and be especially vigilant at night when they are most active; 2)Install fencing along roadways to prevent deer from crossing; 3)Promote responsible hunting practices to help control the deer population; and 4)Educate people about how to avoid getting tick bites and the importance of seeking medical attention if they think they have been infected with Lyme disease.

While none of these solutions are perfect, together they could help reduce the number of deer carcasses found on our roadsides and help protect public health.

State offers $5,000 for information on person who killed deer

The state of Missouri is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the identification and arrest of the person who illegally killed a white-tailed deer.

Department of Conservation (DOC) officials say the male deer was killed on November 10th in Shannon County. The deer had been shot with a rifle from a distance, and its carcass was left to waste.

"This was a senseless act of poaching that deprived Missourians of the opportunity to enjoy this beautiful animal," said DOC Director Sara Parker Pauley. "We are asking for the public's help in identifying the individual responsible for this crime."

White-tailed deer are an important part of Missouri's natural landscape, and provide valuable opportunities for hunting, viewing and photography. The unlawful killing of a deer is a serious offense that can result in fines and imprisonment.

Anyone with information about this case is urged to contact the nearest conservation agent or call the Operation Game Thief hotline at 1-800-392-deer (3337).

Baby deer rescued after getting lost in city

A baby deer who had been lost in a city for days was finally rescued after animal officials received a call about the fawn.

The deer, who has been nicknamed "Lucky" by rescuers, was first spotted by a woman who was out for a walk. The woman noticed that the deer was scared and alone, and she called Animal Control.

Officials arrived on the scene and were able to capture the deer using a net. The deer was then taken to a local nature reserve, where it will be released back into the wild.

Rescuers said that they were glad to have been able to save Lucky, and they encouraged people in similar situations to call Animal Control immediately.

Deer populations increasing in some areas

Deer populations are increasing in some parts of the United States. This is making it more difficult for managers to control the population and is causing problems for farmers, who are finding their crops being eaten by deer. There are several things that could be causing the increase in deer populations. One possibility is that hunting regulations have been relaxed in recent years, making it easier for deer to survive. Another possibility is that the forests are becoming more fragmented, meaning there is more food and cover available for deer. Whatever the reason, the increase in deer populations is creating a problem for people who live in those areas.

What to do if you hit a deer with your car

If you are unfortunate enough to hit a deer with your car, you may be wondering what to do next. Although it may seem like a daunting task, dealing with the aftermath of a collision with a deer is actually not that difficult. Here are the steps you should take:

1. Make sure everyone is okay.

The first step is making sure that everyone in the car is okay. Check for any injuries and provide first aid if necessary. If anyone is injured, call 911 and wait for help to arrive.

1. Call the police.

Next, call the police and report the accident. They will need to document what happened and will likely want to speak to you about the details of the collision.

1. Get the car towed.

The car will need to be towed away from the scene of the accident so it can be inspected for damage. Depending on where you live, you may be able to have the police or highway department tow it for free. If not, expect to pay between $50 and $100 for a tow truck service.

1. Contact your insurance company.

Once the car has been towed, contact your insurance company and report the accident. They will walk you through the process of filing a claim and getting your vehicle repaired or replaced.
