Deer Carcass Removal — Why We’re Getting More Calls This Time of Year
Every fall, our phones start ringing more than usual for one specific reason — deer carcass removals. If you’ve noticed an uptick in deer along roadways or even an unfortunate carcass on your property, you’re not alone. This time of year, it’s part of a natural — and very predictable — seasonal pattern.
What’s Happening Right Now: The Deer Rut
Autumn marks the rut, or breeding season, for white-tailed deer across Virginia. Bucks are on the move, following scent trails, chasing does, and crossing into new territories. This increased movement — especially during dawn and dusk — brings them closer to roads, neighborhoods, and developed areas.
The result? More vehicle collisions, more deer fatalities, and, unfortunately, more carcasses left in inconvenient or unsafe places like driveways, fields, or wooded edges near homes and businesses.
Why Professional Removal Matters
Aside from being unsightly and unpleasant, a decaying deer carcass can attract scavengers such as vultures, coyotes, and other wildlife — not to mention create strong odors and potential health concerns. Our trained Wildlife Control Operators handle safe, sanitary, and legal removal of deer carcasses, ensuring proper disposal and site disinfection when needed.
Whether it’s on private property, a commercial lot, or an HOA-managed area, 10-Eleven Nuisance Wildlife Control provides prompt and professional carcass removal service throughout Virginia.
