the wife of a friend of mine took this with a p&s. I thought it was a very interesting photo, so when he offered it to me I said I'd scan it & share with my dgrin friends.
Someone shot a buck. took it home & carved it up, cut off the horns & then dumped it. Wouldn't be so bad except they had it in plastic & the clean up rags were in it too.
the local wildlife thought they would clean it up some.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    So there is something amazing you dont see everyday. And a great argument for having a P&S around all the time.

    Well, the carved up deer offered some protection from the cold. Interesting image for sure and the fact that you found an opossum during the day is even more interesting.
