Forensics Needed

Dead deer.

Front half in the creek and the back half out of the creek.  And does it smell.  I've been over there to check on it but it's still too stinky to get close.

Blech!

My buddy thing that the deer broke through the ice of the creek, fractured it's legs and died there slowly  freezing to death.

My hypothesis is that it was struck by a car and struggled for a bit only to drop dead in the position it was found.

The only way to know fur sure is to examine it up close and personal.

But I'm not grabbing that thing...
