LaraCroft 863 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 laracroft.you are probaly right .most likely a pellet hit some main nerve unless a shotgun pellet had entered the brain causeing coordination problems I won't be claiming right or wrong - just saying uptake through muscle and tissue is really poor, so lead poisoning from that source is unlikely - as you said, the pellets could have caused any number of other issues, as could natural disease.

BORDERSCOT 3,816 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 borderscott.i remember courseing a hare preban and it run perfectly when caught it had a front foot missing snare i reckon .i couldnt believe how fast it was for a hare with a front foot missing.what annoys me is the antis go on about deer courseing hare courseing but there is one thing forcertain .if a well trained dog gets hold of a deer preban or a hare its not going to escape Geoff - how heavy do you reckon that CWD was...is it larger than average...looks quite bulky...

blackgreyhound 206 Posted April 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 borderscott.you are correct it was a very big specimen .i thought jesus that is above average size for a chink.on skinning it there was no fat on it so i thought im not eating that so i gave it to my friend for his whippets .if the deer had not been in poor condition it would have been a lot heavier .you can see by its tusks it was a mature buck.in the past i have caught preban bucks like this and they are a bit heavier.they have 1 to 7 young at a time and weigh according to wilkepedia 31lbs but this one was at least.45lbs .it probaly was a bit heavier i wished i had weighed it now .i know those tusks are very big and sharp and could cut a dog very badly Quote Link to post

bullmastiff 615 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Could well be a bad infection from the pellet wounds? or maybe even Foot & Mouth or TB? I'd of kept the head though!! get it sent off for scoring! Quote Link to post
blackgreyhound 206 Posted April 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 borderscott.a average size lurcher preban would take one.the meat is very soft. in winter time they are are covered in thick fat which helps to baste the meat .they taste better than fallow or red .i allways said muntjack is like dark chocalate a bit tangy and strong tasteing.where chineses water deer is like milk chocalate best tasteing meat i have ever tried.if i found some road kill chink next year if you were not so far away i would send you some.once you have tasted water deer venison its never forgotten 2 Quote Link to post
