Tony Taylor and negativity as usual

Warrior, did one close but the same a few years back

Memorial day weekend and I assume the deer got hit on the road

Made it to the stairwell at a elementary school and died there

Again just an assumption, had to be hit on Friday or Saturday

By Tuesday morning, school in session, the deer had bloated and popped

Oh my what a nasty adventure, should have charged more but didn't

Gave the school's resource officer a pair of gloves, slipped a few bills in his pocket

Dang that was rough

Not enough, lol.

Time and distance. Ask as many questions as I can to determine difficulty, get photos if possible. Estimate time to do, one hour minimum, and drive time, two hour minimum, figure around 100/hr. Provide firm quote based on information given.

Most jobs, just laying in yard, can be bagged and loaded in just a few minutes. But advanced decomp, deer pudding, takes longer and includes deodorizing, baking soda carpet fresh. Retrieval from fences and water more difficult.

What gets interesting is dead pets.

Most of the time it's fresh dead in and out. Just act right and respectful, and always ask the breed. I had a Saint Bernard to haul out once.

Sometimes, you want to beat the crap out of the owner. I once called in animal control and the police.

I draw the line at livestock. I can't do horses and the last pot belly like to have broke me.

Pot belly. ???

Oh my what a dang memory !! I picked one up from a

elderly couples home, they just got too old to deal with it

Here I am crusing down I 40 from Winston to burlington with

A300 pound pig in the back of my nissan

All went well, had the pig tethered to the hilt, he wasn't going anywhere

Real nice fat pig, the old folks fed him well

Dropped him off that nite at a new petting type zoo in Mebane

Better memories than some
