Saw a stuck buck. - 01/15/20 03:14 AM
I have seen a fair number of deer stuck in fences by a leg, where they jumped over and put a foot though the mesh twice and hung themselves. They were always dead and decayed.
Tonight, we were driving home from shopping and I saw a deer standing by the left side of the road. I slowed down to a slow crawl as we approached and the deer just kept standing there, only a few feet from the road, with its face pushed into a fence. I realized it was a buck with it's antlers stuck through. It moved its head very slightly as we passed. I think it was worn out.
As soon as I passed it, I thought about backing up to take a picture, but figured I would panic it.
I had Diane call the sherriffs department.
Have any of you seen a buck do that?
