6/1/2006: Dead stuck buck



xoB sends along this gruesome set, with the comment: apparently this buck got stuck in the tree rubbing the velvet off his antlers or at least practicing for the rut.



And, I suppose, it's a lesson for all of us bucks. Oh sure, the rut sounds fun, go out on some weekend all preened, horns up high, looking to get laid. You could wind up like this guy, all snorting and angry and pissed off and only getting yourself stuck far worse.



Yes, sometimes when you hear the call of nature you should just leave it alone.

Poor stupid animal. A human would never put their head somewhere that it might get stuck.

We used to see this a lot on the ranch I worked on. Mostly on fences, but occasionally in the scrub. Very sad.

Yes, but because our friends have opposable thumbs and an understanding of cooperation rather than only competition, male humans can be saved from themselves. Sometimes.

And my penis isn't as long as his antlers.

Simply a case of survival of the fittest, and this was too tight a fit.

Nah, that wily old tree was waiting for an opportunity, and jumped up and grabbed him. Tasty nitrogen fertilizer, y'know.

In the first picture, that buck's face looks simply mortified to be caught dead in this predicament.

It looks to me like some predators may have run off with most of that tree's nitrogen.

Well, if no one else will say it... Yes, too bad for the poor guy, but that rack would really look good on the wall.

probably birds. like prometheus.....except once only. that would really really suck to be stuck if you were a buck, i mean fuck, the rotten luck. it's odd that his antlers didn't break. I wonder if he died before or during his consumption?

what a way to go

What's really sad is that you can tell from all the scratched bark that he struggled for a long time.

Bye bye, Leah...take pictures for us.

I imagine that buck got exhausted and dehydrated pretty fast. He'd break his neck before he'd break those antlers.
