My son called last week and said he had a deer in the garden, looks like it's been fighting he said.
5 min drive later i was there.
Witness marks were buck had crashed through hedge and quite large area of lawn flattened so the soil was showing through. It must have been thrashing about.
When i approached it was obvious it had been in a RTA. Hair missing from different parts of it.
It was lying on its side and made no attempt to get up, the only thing moving was its eye.
I dispatched it.
Telling this story because I've not shot a roe since the 70s, but I don't remember seeing one with antlers like this one. I think they are deformed.
I can't post pictures here, but, would appreciate if some roe expert would send me an email address so i could mail some pictures of the head, and perhaps comment on it.
Regards,Ken.
