Let's all jump to the WRONG conclusion.....🙄

Bird watcher explains why rotting deer carcasses were deliberately left in field

There is an apparently innocent explanation for the distressing scene

I like the bit where the deers spine had been ripped out, personally I rip the spine out of every deer I shoot, you just cant beat a bit of roast spine

 

[Woodsmoke]

Personally, every deer I shoot I tend to pull the limbs off and leave lying in a field just to p.iss off dog walkers. Doesn't everyone?

 

[Andyquadra]

There is a large number of fallow in that area!
It also kicked off this time last year as "another" (probably the same) dog walker came across a couple of "murderers" hacking limbs off a deer. Funnily enough, they also called the local hunt sab group!

I have put out pluck on one area we have in Bedfordshire. The farmer asked me to put it on his rape field last year to attract the Kites, which are in good numbers in the area, which in turn kept the pigeons off the crop. Works a treat.

 

[Siggy]

Brilliant, I bet the dog walkers didn't have permission to walk on the field!!

I heard years ago that a hill walker had phoned the police saying that they had came across a dead alien. Police arrived to find a Red deer gralloch.

This morning i was walking down by the river, there was a dead rotting muntjac in the middle of the footpath (clearly someones dog or a fox has pulled it there)... several people crowding round it and a child asked what it was, an adult responded "it appears to be a fox with horns". Some people are just plain stupid

 

[starr shot]

Bet because there is a rational explanation that’s all the air time it gets

Bit harsh. Any of us could be presented with a piece of machinery/art/gadgetry, not know what it is and make a flippant comment.

I put my gralloch in a plastic bag and hang it off a bush by a dog walker route

Positive report in the Guardian though:

Wild deer set to wreak havoc in UK woodlands as venison demand plunges | Wildlife | The Guardian

 

[Ewich]

Lets hope the "road kill" was not destroyed by lethal injection by a vet as happened on the Back Isle - raptor feeder then lays out at a kite feeding station. Kites and I think a buzzard found dead. All hell breaks loose with RSPB getting it plastered all over the media. Every local estate keeper gets raided by RSPB/Police and hauled in for questioning. When the true finally emerged it was quitely dropped with no retractions or apologies to the keepers or their families.

I see the photo is courtesy of the hunt says.

On the ground next to the bin by the "footpath" sign surely .....

Nothing quite stokes my ego when I'm out hunting than to rip the spine out of the animal with my bare hands and wear it like a scarf before parading around the field in it, so all other animals can see how I'm Teddy Roosevelt incarnate and really dominated the deer.
