yes! This^^^ lmao
lol...black mountain lion... geez
But in all seriousness, I have laid eyes on a big tom out there years ago and seen tracks a year or two after that. And not long ago there was a sighting at the elementary school down the road.
I'm thinking its some kind of disease but i guess it could be an infection from getting roughed up by another deer..

Needs killed.
We will all die of prions at some point in the future.
OMG! What kinda monster is this?!
pri·on1
/ˈprīˌän/
noun
plural noun: prions
- a small petrel of southern seas, having a wide bill fringed with comblike plates for feeding on planktonic crustaceans.
That some little aquatic bug like thingy. I've heard CWD referred to as this.
IIRC, you can't kill it because it's not alive. Antiseptics don't work, bleach don't work, antibiotics don't work and burning/heat don't work. I liken it to a toxin or maybe a whacked out protein gone wrong. As I recall they recommend just burying the carcass and leaving it alone.
Good info here on Prions. Scary stuff.

Prion diseases or transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) are a family of rare progressive neurodegenerative disorders that affect both humans and animals. They are distinguished by long incubation periods, characteristic spongiform changes associated with neuronal loss, and a failure to induce inflammatory response.
The causative agents of TSEs are believed to be prions. The term “prions” refers to abnormal, pathogenic agents that are transmissible and are able to induce abnormal folding of specific normal cellular proteins called prion proteins that are found most abundantly in the brain. The functions of these normal prion proteins are still not completely understood. The abnormal folding of the prion proteins leads to brain damage and the characteristic signs and symptoms of the disease. Prion diseases are usually rapidly progressive and always fatal.
