On the way into work this morning at 0630 I came across two Roe deer which had been killed during the night, (they were not there when I went home yesterday!).
They were about 3/4 mile apart.
The first was too badly damaged to obtain any usable meat from, The second was a lage buck, which on initial examination looked as though it had died as a result of head chest trauma. However it was rigored and the abdomen was bloated with gas so I left it.
I was thinking as I drove along, that the back legs were intact and obviously away from the stomach so would they have been ok to remove to eat?
Seems such a waste.
The last deer I found was at xmas and needed to be dispatched, it did provide meals for four friends though.
Yours Mike.
