Our good friend and frequent contributor, Frank Carbone sent me these pictures from Southeastern New York State where he moved a deer from the roadway where it was killed back into the woods................Keeping the carcass off the road likely saved vultures, hawks, eagles, coyotes, foxes and other predators from the same type collision death.......................the "kill" being scavenged by coyotes and vultures..........................I encourage you to check out Frank's website at http://www.outdoorliaisons.com ............all types of interesting outdoor information as well as consumer protection data for you to download.

Rick,

here's the pics as promised.

they would've been there last nite but windows live mail had a problem with the number of photos.

the following creatures utilize a road-killed deer carcass here - black and turkey vultures, red-tail hawks, coywolves, red and gray fox etc.

carcasses left on and along the road shoulder are a death trap for some of those who feed on them and can't get out of the way.

and the way the country is headed - homo sapiens will be competing for a spot on top of the list again. 

peace to all,

, , Frank

ps – the experts say more than 70,000 deer are hit by cars in NYS every year.

this is only my second experiment with road kill here.
