   Maybe it heard or smelt you and accidentally ran into a tree and put its neck out or momentarily knocked itself out.

   I went for a short hunt this afternoon and came home with nothing to show for it. No animal, no photos, hardly even worked up a sweat, but it was one of the best bush stalks I have ever had. Within...

   Could it have been cast and your presence was giving it the impetus to have a better go at getting up?

   Most likely answer is it had a roll or a bit of a scratch and got itself cast and was attempting to get back on its feet. See similar behaviour in sheep and cattle.

   I spoke to a chopper pilot a couple of years back who said he'd occasionally seen deer running with their necks bent back, and no, they weren't looking over their shoulders at the chopper. Said he...

   Have seen the same when wild deer have been enclosed after capture, run the fence line and catch their head in the mesh, used to be called "rick" neck. Maybe this animal caught itself on a vine etc...

    The first thing I do is check the organs, it can tell you if the deer is healthy or not. If offals have spots I would throw it.

    That area is currently very busy with trap lines and bait stations being cut all the way through it for the last couple of years. Finishes south of the hut. I'm sure there will still be deer though
