DNR gets reports of deer disease: Cases found in Calhoun and Roane counties
Wildlife officials in West Virginia are treating cases of several dead deer in Calhoun County as an outbreak of hemorrhagic disease.
Jeff McCrady, wildlife biologist for the Division of Natural Resources, said the samples are being tested, but officials are treating it as an outbreak.
"I think it is probably positive, based on the outward appearance of the deer," McCrady said. "...We are proceeding as if it is."
