beast 1,884 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 good work to finish the poor bugger off b.greyhound. pellets left in an animal usually form a capsule of tissue around them which in effect seals them off from the blood stream, lead poisoning is generally caused by eating it. every winter i find a few old water deer that have just lost too much condition over the cold months to survive, this year seems to have been particularly bad, i reckon i've picked up about 20 dead or dying. i know weve had a bit more warmth and a bit of grass growing in the last week or so but i reckon it was too little too late for that old boy. heaviest buck i ever took was 51lb but when i dressed himout he had at least 15lb of hard fat in him, great feed for the dogs when it turns cold. he had been feeding on winter rape not far from woburn .fat bugger could barely run though he was so heavy, dog pulled him over before he had made 50 yards. wouldnt want to be running deer near woburn these days.....

We had a really fat one once, but this was a doe. There was nearly an inch of fat beneath her skin. Never went more than 150 yards: it was sinking in the soft soil it was so heavy. She was with another, smaller, male, thinner. That ran like the wind and gave the other dog a good course across a massive rape field before she got it. Quote Link to post
