WOW!
We are making this post to provide clarity to incoming questions and concerns regarding photos of a vehicle struck deer that have surfaced on social media.This white-tailed deer was struck by a vehicle early this morning on Market Garden Rd on Fort Campbell. This deer was within one of Fort Campbell Fish & Wildlife's intensively managed and restricted areas where much of our long-term population management strategies have been occurring since 2014.We have closely monitored this particular deer's progression over recent years (along with other deer of this age class and size). Below are several photos that were taken during annual trail camera surveys conducted in this restricted area.After collection of this animal, Wildlife Biologists estimate this deer at approximately 7 years of age. This estimate was derived from past encounters, photographs from recent years, and tooth wear.This was an unfortunate incident for the deer and individual involved. We would like to express our concern for the driver and hope no injuries occurred.
