STATEWIDE -- With the start of bow hunting season this weekend, deer hunters are being asked to keep an eye out and report any sick, dying, or dead animals they come across. The State Department of Environmental Conservation conducted preliminary tests on deer carcasses found earlier this week in Voorheesville.
Officials say the results indicate the deer may have died of Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease or EHD. They say the disease does not pose a threat to humans. If the test holds true, it would be the first time the disease has been found in New York.
The DEC says you can contact them if you find any sick or dead deer at 1-800-847-7332.
