Dead Deer in the road!!!!

[Lakesrider]

Coming down into Melvin Village yesterday I came around that sharp turn at the top of the hill leading down to the junction of 109 and 109A. There was a dead deer right after the turn. I called it into the Ossippee dispatch, and they were to inform the Tuftonboro police. As I was headed home I felt bad because I sure didn't want some motorcyclist coming around that corner and hitting the deer. It would have been messy. So I turned around, went back and extracted the deer to the side of the road. Still no police 30 minutes later. What if there was an accident there? I mean I had to swerve into the other lane to avoid it. I am certain others had to as well. I even parked my truck in the lane around the corner to slow people down from hitting me as I dragged it off. You should have seen the looks I got, like wtf are you doing...I also figured maybe the police would know of someone that could use the meat as it was a fresh kill. Went by this morning and the deer had been pulled partially up the hill. I guess a Coyote or Fox tried to get it home but the hill was too steep. Sad to see a good deer go to waste like that. Then a couple miles up a large flock of big turkeys walked across the road. Maybe 10 of them. They looked like they were doing well as they were all fairly plump.....Mmmmmmm...... (I did try to report them on the NH F&G website.) So anyway my standing cautionary statement still goes. Be careful driving out there at dusk and dawn. They are out there just waiting for you to not being paying attention!
