toad,

Thanks for posting the picks. Very unusual.

toad;
Thanks for putting up the photos, they are interesting.

I note that in the link the photos show the damage done to the ram - blew a horn right off and leg fractures - so no doubt they hurtled down a fair ways before impact.

Because of the efficient clean up crew around here - ravens, magpies, turkey vultures, bald eagles, coyotes, etc. - we don't get to do many post mortem exams on animals up in the hills.

Road kills are another story of course, but that's not a road kill by the look of it to me.

Anyway, it's interesting to me and if nothing else show the tree hugger/grass eater types that death occurs in the wilds with or without human involvement. Personally I like to point that out to 'em from time to time.

Thanks again toad and all the best to you this Thanksgiving.

Regards,
Dwayne

Bingo! 4 or 5 years, at least.

Well yeah. Look at those eyes. It's pretty obvious he's been dead a long time. Nevertheless, some of us hain't seen them yet.

I'd not seen them either. Thanks.
Dwayne: For certain on the wild animals just die logic. Some people must think they all get along just fine if humans don't interfere. It's the same mentality that complains about hunters over a steak dinner.

Still awesome pics though, obviously not everyone's seen them yet.
