Dead Deer Tell No Tales

From time to time I've shared that one of my retirement goals was to pay closer attention to the natural world that surrounds me.  If I can get some fresh air and exercise that is double-good.  

It's mud season here at The Platz so what better than to saddle-up the Labs and head-out on an antler hunt.  We found no antlers today - but we did find this in the woods...


Almost the complete remains of an articulated whitetail deer.

It was missing the skull and I have no way of knowing how it perished - nevertheless, a walk with a CSI plot line is triple-good.

And the girls got another bath today too.
