I guess sometimes that's the price they pay for sitting tight....bummer.
I agree though, it almost looks staged. Very CLEAN...no blood or anything, and it's ironic that the bucks head was DIRECTLY in between the cutters......I'm gonna have to call bluff on this one.
Actually, sometimes there might be no blood at all depending the size of the gap between the stripper plates, knife rolls, gathering chains.
It would actually break the neck first, probably before breaking the hide. You gotta remember, those hides are thick, and the main job of the chains is to gather, the knife rolls below the deers neck is what actually cuts the stalk.
I am assuming the farmer caught it at the last second and quickly stopped the machine. Therefore, he may have only gotten the neck stuck in the gathering chains.
Just my assumption though.
