Buck Dies from Salmonella

Manage the Wild

In this episode, host Nick Madsen shares the story of a mature buck that died in a highly trafficked area. The initial suspicion was that the deer had consumed the toxic California Ewe plant, but further examination revealed multiple health issues. Ultimately, the cause of death was determined to be salmonella septicemia, possibly contracted from a nearby dairy farm. The deer also had sarcocytosis, a parasite infection. Madsen discusses the concerns and ongoing monitoring efforts to ensure the health of the local deer population. Takeaways

• The California Ewe plant is highly toxic to mule deer and can cause rapid death.
• The deer in question had multiple health issues, including colitis, hepatitis, sarcocytosis, ticks, and nasal pharyngeal bot worms.
• Salmonella septicemia was determined to be the primary cause of death, possibly contracted from a nearby dairy farm.
• Sarcocytosis is an incidental parasite infection that can be transmitted through contaminated feces.
