1/15/2003: Dead deer mystery



Imagine you're in the middle of nowhere, Northeast USA, walking along a set of power lines when you notice something strange on the top of one. You get closer to find that it's --



It's a dead DEER, lying on top of a 22-foot high pole, with its rear legs clipped off.

How did it get there? The images are from a talk radio show website here (tw pls ignore), and the accompanying text suggests that it might have been hit by a train.

"There is a train track several yards away and there is a possibility that the deer was struck and tossed into the air, thus landing on the pole. However, the deer would have to have traveled in the air approximately 45 feet (across) to the pole and reach a height of approximately 22 feet (up) to reach the top of the pole."

They include a link to another stuck dead deer story, a tale from Griff country of a deer shot by arrow and stuck 12 feet up in a tree for no reason. (That one was only 12 feet and only 70 pounds so it seems likely that some very strange human was responsible.)

It makes you wish the FBI was not otherwise engaged and could assign a special unit just for investigating strange, inexplicable mysteries such as this.

(Tip o' the hat to wolf.)
