Deker 3,478 Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 I get called to remove deceased wildlife of all sorts from time to time but in the last 10 days I have had to collect 2 dead Roe Buck from fields around 12 miles apart. One on a stables and one a farm, there was no sign of any external trauma and nothing suggesting a RTA. Both looked around 2 years old, both in velvet and certainly not old enough to die of old age. Both actually looked in good shape (bearing in mind they were dead), is this just a wildlife coincidence or is something doing the rounds? Cheers Quote Link to post
