This is a pic of a buck that I found dead in December, but there really was nothing left of his body, so he was dead much earlier than December. It looks like this guy died a very slow and painful death. He had smooth electric fence wire wrapped all over his right antler. He then had a loop of the wire around his neck. The wire ran from his right antler under his chin and was really buried into his white neck patch. From there it continued on and was really cutting into his left ear. It looked like skin had actually grown over the wire. The wire continued on and wrapped around his antler some more. He obviously rubbed his left side clean but it must have hurt to try and rub the right side because there was still velvet there. My initial guess is that this buck died of strangulation judging by how tight the wire was around his throat. Another reminder to pick up your garbage, always. The pics are very big but I wanted you to see the wire up close.
