Ran into this on my way out to a call stand yesterday. Dead Sage Hen. The only thing I could come up with is it hit the fence at high speed and got decapitated...one of the more bizzare things I've seen. I did'nt miss seeing it by much as it was still warm. You could see blood splattered around on the ground where the perverbial "chicken with his head cut off" dance took place..

Someone was probably chasing it with a drilling rig.

Re: Freak Accident!!

Talk about bad luck....bet it really twanged the wire.

I live in the middle of town and one spring a deer came running through the yards and went to duck under the top bar of a chain link fence. Didn't see the fence and broke its neck.
 
Re: Freak Accident!!

SHIT...take this down ASAP! Before you know it...the animal rights activists will be forcing us to take down property line fences now....for god's sake, it's killing the sage hens!

Re: Freak Accident!!

I agree with Ishikawa 100% these are endangered in Washington. This needs to be removed or all the fences will have to be taken down, just like the loggers had to quit logging because of the spotted owl back in the early 90's
 
Re: Freak Accident!!

i watched a Red-tailed hawk swooping down for a gopher when the gopher squeeked through a woven wire fence and the hawk hit the fence inches behind the gopher. both survived the encounter ok, but i was really rooting for the hawk.

Re: Freak Accident!!

Well I hope you took him home and ate him, shame to let good meat go to waste...(Having not seen the pic yet as I'm on an NMCI computer).

Friday I had a pheasant jump out in front of my truck coming back from Shelton with my daughter - ran his ass right over (Centered over him) and he got up and flew a ways.

Went back with my daughter, figured I'd take him home and eat him but no, he flew up into a tree and was sitting there staring at me.

IF the car ahead of me had gotten him, he would have been a goner...
 
Re: Freak Accident!!

This must be from those wind energy turbines in Wyoming, all of the tree huggers say that those are endangering the sage grouse and it obvious this one flew into one in Wyoming and it must have flung it into a barbwire fence in Montana.

But seriously that's a pretty strange thing to see, glad you got pictures. It'd be pretty hard to believe someone without them.

Re: Freak Accident!!

A fellow Hide'r had a jack rabbit jump strait up in the air while standing in the middle of the gravel road. Hit the pick up high on the windshield and caused the over head sun glasses holder / cd storage bin of an '06 Ford FX4 to fly open spilling lots of goodies into the cab. No damage to the wind shield at all. Can't say the same about the jackrabbit.
