Shot a fallow Doe a couple of nights ago, private property with a large fallow population that needs controlling.
When I gutted this Doe she had an unborn fawn in her uterus that was literally reduced to bones. Initially I thought it was rocks.
has anyone come across this before? She was in amazing knick and as fat as mud, but her uterine wall was very thick like she was tyring to absorb the unborn foetus.
Organs were all good and no pus around the womb.
They can absorb them easily if they detect a stressful environment
Was really weird, the foetus was super boney - little or no other tissue on it. But I'm yet to see a doe off the property as far.
She'll be great eating.
Same thing in cattle, used to see it in the works, if you cut it open you used to know all about, hell of a stench
Yeah no real stench to this animal - the uterus wall was real thick with scar tissue, she was mud fat otherwise. Deer on the rightQuote:

Geeez that's fat alright. I was meaning the womb, I would be of the thinking that your one was well passed the acute stage and as you say reduced to bone. Sometimes they'd cut em open and it was just a green rotten soup of stinking skin, bone and whatever else
