GAYLORD, Kan. – A small herd of deer were electrocuted when they came into contact with a power line in Smith County.

The Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism said on its Facebook page the deer kill took place near Gaylord in north central Kansas.

Six deer can be seen lying in a wheat field along with the power line that fell killing them.

KDWPT said game wardens who investigated the kill reported the deer apparently were feeding when the power line fell into the field. The agency said the active line was released as soon as possible from the pole but the deer had already been killed.

I can't imagine electricity blowing out the ass of that first deer in the pic.

It absolutely can. When I worked at AEP I saw pictures of copper thieves electrocuted. It can do some nasty stuff where it exits the body to reach ground.

The deer would have had its ass blown off while it was still standing and the fur would have been blown clear of the body not laying right next to it. Don't know for sure just something to think about.
