Death of a Deer…Very graphic!

Day OneThe first day I drove

by there were 8 turkey buzzards hanging around…

It was a young doe, virtually untouched…hit by a car, the road is 50 yards to the right.

The next day I came back…..

They are huge birds, and ugly but extremely cautious! I wasn’t upset when they flew away!

Do Not Continue if you are already squeamish!

The next pics show the condition of the feast. The meat is mostly gone, the rib cavity is filled with nasty black bubbling fluid, the eyes & edible organs are gone. The birds don’t eat the parts (mainly lower intestines) that will make them sick……..

(I warned you!)

When the big predators move out, others move in…

A week later, there’s not much left….

The End…….??

I actually felt privileged to be able to observe this, it’s just nature! Billb 11-15-09
