Injured, Sick Or Confused… This Deer Ignores Motorist
In the middle of nowhere Hancock County, a wild deer acts like it belongs in a petting zoo as GON member gets it on video.

GON subscriber Dewaine Seese, of Eatonton, had an up-close experience with a confused deer last month. Dewaine was driving in rural Hancock County on Highway 77 that connects Highways 15 and 16 when he drove right up a deer standing in the middle of the road. Dewaine believed the deer to be a buck.
“That deer had that square top, and on the right side it had some sort of black growth or blister. He looked like a buck to me by the shape of his head,” said Dewaine.
Luckily for the GON community Dewaine had the cell phone videoing the action. Dewaine blew the horn, yelled and even got out of the vehicle to try everything in his power to get the deer out of harm’s way. Finally, after about three minutes, Dewaine had all but given up and decided to drive around the deer. It was at that time the deer ran off to the shoulder of the road and hopefully went to a secluded patch of woods away from Highway 77.

What is chronic wasting disease?Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal, neurological illness occurring in North American cervids (members of the deer family), including white-tailed deer, mule deer, elk, and moose. Since its discovery in 1967, CWD has spread geographically and increased in prevalence locally. CWD is contagious; it can be transmitted freely within and among cervid populations. No treatments or vaccines are currently available.
Chronic wasting disease is of great concern to wildlife managers. It has been detected in at least 23 states, two Canadian provinces, and South Korea. CWD is not known to infect livestock or humans.
CWD is transmitted directly through animal-to-animal contact, and indirectly through contact with objects or environment contaminated with infectious material (including saliva, urine, feces, and carcasses of CWD-infected animals).
