Been at my parent's for the weekend, coming back we were keeping a sharp eye out for lightly bumped pheasants, it being one of those areas where speed crazed stockbrokers regularly mow down a few in the dim light of dawn.
Anyway, we pulled over to inspect a likely looking heap of feathers, but sadly it was a bit too flattened to be worthwhile, when I spotted a small roe deer on the other side of the road. Dunno what hit it, but lets just say it didnt need gutting. However, as we felt there was no doubt from its injuries and positioning that it had died outright and not been displatched by invisible means later, and it had only just begun to go into rigor mortis, and it was close to freezing out, we popped it into a sack and brought it home.
We're now several kilos of venison better off, which was welcome, as the meat content in the freezer was looking a little low. We went for the 'leave whats left of the innards on the inside and take off the larger cuts of meat' method.
Sad the poor little thing met an untimely end, but very glad we spotted it |
