INDIANA – Have you seen any fish or wildlife showing odd behaviors or signs of disease?

The Department of Natural Resources encourages you to report them using its reporting system. DNR is especially interested in incidents involving the death of five or more animals, and recurring deaths of animals in the same location over a period of time.

Deer with chronic wasting disease

Also report deer exhibiting signs that may indicate chronic wasting disease or epizootic hemorrhagic disease, or incidents involving threatened or endangered species.

DNR appreciates your reports, as they help biologists track wildlife health over time and detect potential disease outbreaks in the state.
