Oh Deer!

We came across an almost complete Deer skeleton today in the woods. Which was unusual. Usually the skeleton has been disturbed by scavengers and dispersed far and wide, often only a few bones remain. But this skeleton looked complete, disarticulated but still closely grouped.  I think it was a young Roe Deer, the skull says young/small and the antlers look like those of a Roe (all nodular around the lower section and near the base). Nice find.
