It's just shagged out after a prolonged squawk.

I wonder how many deer ticks he picked off his neck, back, and out of his hair after the delivery. Those things are usually covered and as the deer cools they quickly look for a new home.

It's a Norwegian Blue deer.

Quite common, this one.

2002.

ticks. ick!

say cheese!
 

In the second picture it looks like he stopped for a moment to allow his picture to be taken. Notice his left foot is on the pavement.... I love that cool old schwinn cruiser he's riding.:thumb:

I have been deer hunting myself a few times and butchered a ton of deer family have shot. There is surprising little blood from a gun shot wound in the deer. And after you gut and bleed the deer before hauling it out it loses a lot of weight and all the blood.

Guesstimate, I would say that deer is about 80-100 lbs.

In the lower photo, there appears to be a little blood on the front of the doe's hind leg. Also, note the rope mark in the hair on her neck. This would tend to indicate that the deer was hung from the neck and field-dressed (gutted), so a little less weight to carry. I agree w/Coign, probably 75-100 lbs. As for deer ticks, from the photo it looks well into cold weather, deer ticks would be long gone.

Which one? or both?
