Headless deer found in Ringwood
A HEADLESS deer with gunshot wounds to its legs and body has been found near a New Forest beauty spot.
In the morning on January 29 the deer, described as a large Fallow buck, was found on the A338 near Blashford Lake, Ringwood, with gunshot wounds across the body and legs and its head removed.
A vet who attended the scene alongside Country Watch officers said that the deer had also probably been hit by a vehicle.
