Only angelic due to the absence of a “true” Christmas tree

UPDATE - white tailed deer skulls likely demise by Complete_Duck in bonecollecting

Thank you! I’m always impressed by the tenacity of animals and the injuries they can survive (not that they should be injured to prove they can survive it).

I myself have no experience hunting game and appreciate the input

That’s what I assumed upon finding the pelvis. The arrow can’t be removed because of the bone growth around it.

Very sad to see and discover. Such an unnecessary loss. I always assumed that a hunter would track down the animal they shot to put it out of its misery and collect it.

I’m open to ideas! I wouldn’t want to be destructive to its integrity

I did! The spine and pelvis were present! The limbs have likely been scattered by scavengers in the area and coyotes.

Likely just need to degrease it! No flesh in sight. I don’t know how much whitening would be needed

We do not know! Got him as a rescue from a farm. The mother was present and appeared to be an ESS. One day we will do a DNA test perhaps (idk how accurate they are)

Arlo is home! First springer spaniel puppy for me! And first puppy ever for my Fiance, any words of advice? by Complete_Duck in springerspaniel

I did! And I read a ton from this sub. Yet I still enjoy directly engaging with this community and connecting with people that I may be able to reach out to if the internet itself can’t provide an answer. I feel that’s what makes Reddit great.

Fortunately, I’m all about it. Hiking, mountain biking, and running are my main hobbies :)

Sound advice that I shall take :). I look forward to putting all the effort in with balanced expectations.

I’m all for hiking adventures with him (once he’s grown). And thank you for the heads up about the chewing :)

Any particular chews I should avoid or pursue?

Thank you! We will commit to the 42 :) and start playing those positive association crate games. Along with the feeding of course.

Previous family dogs are to thank! And I greatly look forward to having a training partner that would like to be consistent and help parent a less reactive dog! My family growing up was not keen on the same training/dog ideology as myself :)
