Deer lost in blizzard

Yesterday keeping an eye on the weather, looking out the windows more than usual. I seen the deer in the pics attached. It stumbled around for over an hour making circles. Twice I seen it fall over then get up and make more circles. It kept turning its head and appeared to limping a little on its left front leg. I was wondering if it was wounded from the recent deer hunting season or maybe it was hit by a car. It finally wandered out my stone driveway and I didn’t see it again.

@Harry Circle walking disease (CWD) in deer is a brain disease. I was told be my father inlaw if I ever see a deer doing this near us to call MNR

/ DNR

Poor animal, probably sick.

I agree with Dave. You may want to call it in. CWD is infectious to other deer. Your DNR may want to test it. You may want to keep an eye out for it once the storm is over.
