- Victoria, B.C. [British Columbia] Oct. [October] 25, 1938.
Disease Went with [Bruce] Cash to examine
a spike buck shot yesterday
+ reported to be badly
diseased. Found a small
spike buck covered with
tumorous growths. Some
of these were discharging,
particularly those on the head
+ neck. Some were peduncled
others sessile. The head was
a mass of these, as will
be seen in the photograph
others were on the sides, belly,
chest, tail, fore + hind
legs. On the lower legs they
were smaller, not more
than 1/4 inch in diameter in
some cases. The deer had
been unable to see out of
one eye + had permitted
approach to within 20 feet
while it remained in its
bed. When seen first
it was in full jump.
Heavy Litoptera infestation
Census A fine hour hunt along
Millstream road near Fork
Lake produced 10 does + fawns,
3 bucks, one of which was
a spike the other two better
than that.
