I was mowing some pasture recently on a part of the ranch that I don’t frequent much.
Discovered what was left of this Whitetail Doe. I’ve found about a dozen dead deer in fencelines over the years (released a few live one’s too), but I have never seen one that had BOTH rear legs caught.
Usually, its one rear leg and the deer will be caught somewhere near the hock or ankle of the leg. The top strand of wire and the next one down “swap places” and it securely holds the deer despite any efforts to free itself.
I am used to seeing that…but this deer REALLY misjudged the height of the fence.
What a shame, I know it died a gruesome death.
