Does anyone have any tips for safely handling a two week dead deer? I’ve been watching it and it’s mostly been picked clean by scavengers now, save some remaining black mess, and the skull is perfect. I really want it but I don’t know how to get it safely home without getting some…
I carry gloves and garbage bags with me and if it’s anything larger than a squirrel, it goes into a garbage bag and gets tossed into a Rubbermaid bin in the back of the car. The only part of a deer you want to exercise some caution with is removing the brains since many areas have cervid wasting disease, which is transmissible to humans.
Yikes! Thanks for telling me about that! Most of the fleshy bits are gone, but I’ll keep that in mind, thank you!
