I truly have seen the need for this!!, many times when time arises, would be nice for those in need of emergency Help, well would be nice to call for help and not feel burdned,no question is a dumd question,we all been there! or maybe you just need advice on starting. or darting question, AI, i know most , all i met sure like to talk deer,:D

[PaintedMeadowsBJs]

I'm with you.
I don't know everything...but we can try and talk through anything (724)735-9924

Write everything down if it's fawns I have a note book I can tell you everything about any of my deer I write down poop,pee,... little,, lot brown ,black, runny, ect. if the fawn is shy ect...Did they eat 3oz 2oz ???
My fawns are in the house first few days if peeing on their own they are in a kennel or with me. If they are not peeing they have free run. I want to see what is normal to each fawn and note it Because you don't have long when something is not right I want to know the second something is off.
Take notes on everything and have them when you call.

[Mitch P]

Over the years I`ve made plenty of mistakes and if I can help someone from making those same mistakes. When I started I didn`t have access to this amount of people with the knowledge to help quickly. So what I have learned came from death and necropcies. Not the best way to learn. If you have a problem and need help you can email me or call. The more details the better. Visual and a thermometer is the best way to detect illness. Remember with fawns, their eyes tell alot.

Bright clear eyes :D

Dull cloudy eyes ( Sad eyes ) :(

Great idea DC and thanks to all who share their knowledge!

[Scott Heinrich]

Let's take this a couple of steps further. Let's compile a list of symptoms and possible causes. Many times, I have to refer to my journal to see if the symptoms I see in a deer are those I have seen before. What I usually find is that I have treated the same symptoms before and usually found the cause. I have some real weird ones too with no explanation. If you will send your entries to me by email, I will collect them in a spread sheet and post them on this forum. I will update the list from time to time and post. Please submit the information in the following form:
Symptoms (brief but accurate explanation of the animals condition/behavior)
Possible Causes (list of conditions that can cause the symptoms being observed)
Possible Treatment (list of treatments for the possible causes related to the symptoms)

What do yall think?

[Wooden acres]

Scott that's a great idea !! When can we start ? I'm game !...lol Of course I'll just watch though !! Just a thought .. :)

[ddwhitetails]

Why would you just watch wooden you have as much to add as anyone one else.....if this is going to be successful we all need to pitch in....I think it is a great idea too.....I have a few things i can send in Scott....

[ZZ Whitetails]

Scott, that's a great idea! I'm in 740-543-3031. ZZ

[Mitch P]

I think the long haired ole coot must have had a memory laps or he`s been sniffing the Tetradure and drinking Goat`s milk. :confused: He forgot his phone # again. He got that phone number off the restroom wall down in Texas. He saves that phone # for when he`s out on the town and fallen and can`t get up. :eek: He knows a Buckeye will pick him up. :D
Quit laughing ya old fart !!! :)

[TallTines]

Excellent Scott! I thank you and everyone else will to! Deer farmers newest member J ennifer will be in touch with symptons. Poor girl spending the summer with us in the fawn barn, so she will send info. Welcome Jen, looking forward to working with you and the info you can add to these forums. ZZ

[ZZ Whitetails]

Mitch, I figured my wife has it the worst hands down till I read 37 yr's! Of course 37 yr's with you hell she's liable to be brain dead! (don't let her read this) I will deny it! ZZ

[Mitch P]

Too late ole boy she`s standing behind me. And I showed her your picture so it burns in her brain. Brain dead hell, I needed a medal!!!!! Ouch !!! I should have wait until she left.

[Mitch P]

Scott I`m impressed. Very well put and this info right here will save many deer that may have just been lost without it.

We just saved a doe a week ago that I suspected listeria. She did abort but I think that was mother nature`s way of saving herself.

[ddwhitetails]

Scott,
That is awesome what you put together........what a great source of knowledge for people to be able to access!! Pretty cool!!

[Scott Heinrich]

ZZ I have been fortunate to meet some of your "students" over the years. I must compliment you on being able to give these young people the blessing of your vast experience and knowledge. I don't know how much interaction you have with them when they move on to other jobs, but those I have spoken with are quite knowledgable in their trade and attribute much of their learnings to you. The future of our industry is the youth in our communities. I am always enlightened when I see "kids" getting into deer farming. Well done!

[ZZ Whitetails]

Man Scott thank you! Getting approval from one of your peers is the best compliment a man can get, it sure makes your day! The feeling of respect goes both ways, the work you have done with FFA and the info on these forums that you have shared, well thanks isn't enough. We will be blessed with 5 interns this year and I hope we can point them in the right direction. When I started doing seminars at TDA and NADEFA did I finally realize I had something to offer. That old saying "if it wasn't for tommorrow what are we doing it for" speaks volumes. The young people are the tommorrow for us and without them we're done. Keep up the good work Scott and everyone else get the kids involved! Thanks Scott for all you do! ZZ

[falesha]

I have wrote the numbers down because all day I have surfed the net and called "closed veternary clinics" and spent 3 day worrying about this little fellow I have! although I am sleep deprived I think the people who have posted back to me have helped me come to the conclusion that so far he is doing good! God bless you all! and THANKS

[Whitetail Sanctuary]

[Russell]

Someone please compile all the names and phone numbers listed here, and do a posting under Cervid Farming Resources called "Who to call when you need help!"

It will then be easier for people to find rather than having to search or browse all these forums and postings.

Thanks,

Russ

[NK Whitetails]

I put all the numbers together and posted them in Cervid Farming Resources. If you see something that needs to be changed or if I missed someone let me know.

[Droptine]

Great idea here David! I saved everyone's number in my phone since I don't get Internet at the ranch. Mine by the way is 281-381-4054. In case Scott's busy :D
