A user discovered a dead deer on their property, which appeared to be suffering from a lethal hair loss disease, reminiscent of previous sarcoptic mange outbreaks. They expressed concern about how to manage the carcass, noting the unpleasantness of dealing with it and questioning how long it would take to decay. Responses highlighted that decomposition could take weeks to months, depending on environmental factors like temperature and insect activity. Suggestions included burying the carcass, using lime to hasten decay, or even incinerating it, though the latter raised concerns about safety and legality. The discussion also touched on the broader issue of deer health in the area, with one user mentioning they contacted wildlife authorities but received little assistance. Humor and anecdotes about past experiences with dead animals and decay added levity to the conversation, while practical advice focused on managing the situation effectively without causing further issues. Ultimately, the user decided to cover the deer with compost, indicating a preference for a natural approach to decomposition.
But I should let you know...the last time I was drinking green apple martinis I started selling tickets to the guys in the valet line to be able to pinch my girlfriend's a**.
