Angus 1895
5 year old buck +
If you look at the deer in my avatar , I found it freshly hit on the road in Minnesota near a park reserve. It was near Loretta Minnesota.
It had no body fat, no food in the rumen, and it’s large intestine had on fecal nugget about every 18 inches.
The meat smelled like a ketotic dying milk cow. I removed all four legs and gutted it, I needed help lifting the torso onto my flatbed pickup.
Unless this critter had access to “ bird feeders” common to the Mpls metro area. I doubt it would have made the winter.
