Spring Point residents were surprised and shocked to learn that up to a dozen dead deer were discovered throughout the area within the last couple of days. Area residents took to email to share the news.

A report has been filed with the Sheriff’s Department and it has reportedly been “kicked up the chain” to the Undersheriff. However, Sheriff’s Dispatch advises theOrcasonian that the Undersheriff is off today. There is no indication that a deputy has responded to the area to investigate.

None of the deer seem to have visible injuries, but evidence of bleeding from the nose and the mouth has been observed, leading residents to suspect a poisoning.

Meanwhile the community is on alert for an unknown, unidentified cause, with many folks vigilant and watchful as they become concerned about their community water source. Until this is investigated, there are many, many unanswered questions and a high level of concern.

We will stay on the story and provide updates where possible.
