Odd Cass County deer may offer clues to what ails other malformed animals here and in other states
CASS COUNTY -- Turns out the deer with the swollen face is not alone in Michigan. But he may provide clues about what is causing the odd malady to hit whitetail deer here and in other states.
Dale Wallace, a Cass County hunter is submitting the head of a deer he shot last week to scientists in Georgia who are studying similar animals found in Eastern states and, recently, in Idaho.
The deer also is similar to three animals a Michigan researcher has seen in recent years, two from Barry County in 2002 and one in Ionia County in 2004.
