Death by Fence
Death by Fence
I took the day off work on Tuesday and brought my 12 year old son out for a morning of shed hunting. He found his first elk horn within 20 seconds of getting out of the truck. It was just laying by the road where I parked. We found a couple deer sheds too. Later in the afternoon I went out again by myself and found a few more horns. I have noticed that the fresh deer sheds are starting to bleach quickly. Not sure how much longer I can call them brown. I also came across an unusual sight. This unfortunate deer got it's foot stuck in a fence and was not able to get out. I have heard of this happening but this is the first time I have seen it. That has got to be a bad way to die.

Nice. I've seen the hoof in the fence a few time and I agree it's got to be a terrible way to go.

Nice pics, agreed I've also seen the hoof caught in the fence also.
Re: Death by Fence
Shame on the fence, I have seen a few, I think that is why most fences on public land now have to be all barbed and no mesh with them more spread out to avoid that.
