Couldn't believe my eyes when I spotted this young stag across the road. Even more surprised when I looked at the photo to see he was entangled with rope and had a broken point.
i thought maybe you were knitting in the woods and your ball of yarn rolled away. Funny to see, but a bit sad to see it tangled up like this. Look how the antler is just hanging.
It is so sad to see man made damage to wild creatures and I looked for a way to raise my concern. The verderers are not interested in injured deer and the council only manage injured or dead ones, on the road, you've hit with your vehicle.
This young stag looked healthy, and he ran away quite quickly when rest of my group were spotted by him.
Oh dear, poor soul. I guess the rope will gradually disappear as long as it doesn't cause him to get caught up in anything. It will go when the antlers drop, but that's not for a while. What a shame.
No wonder you were so surprised.
