I had 20 deer delivered one week ago. There are now 2 dead. One died about 1-2 days after delivery and now today I've found another one dead that probably died yesterday. I don't know what is wrong. I've got 2 feeders full of protein and all these deer are in a 6 acre soft release pen. It's full of thick brush, 2 protein feeders, and 2 water troughs.
The only thing I think might be stressing them out is a house we're building about 80 yards from one side of the pens. There is some noise from building but is that enough to kill them??
I've got to do something. I'm afraid if I open the gates of the soft release pen then they'll run themselves to death trying to find a protein feeder on the ranch (350 acres) and not go back to the pens to eat out of the feeders.
