NY Big Game,
DEC is investigating reports of sick and dead deer in the Town of Clarkstown in Rockland County, NY. To diagnose the cause of mortally, tissue samples are being collected at the DEC's Wildlife Pathology Unit and sent to the Cornell University Animal Health Diagnostic Center for diagnostic testing. While test results are pending, the DEC does not consider this as a human health issue at this time. DEC is requesting residents in the Rockland County area to refrain from approaching any sick deer or deer behaving abnormally, and to please report these animals to the DEC Regional Wildlife Office in New Paltz by calling (845) 256-3098.
We will provide updates as new information is available.
