I might be wrong but here is my theory . Other deer I have seen like this were hung in the top strands...this one was lower . I suspect a couple strands weren't super tight and the young deer tried slipping thru and hit it wrong and got twisted . This really isn't uncommon . I haven't ever found one this fresh tho. Usually its just been a mummified leg hanging there .

A year ago this past winter, I saw a doe hung up like this alongside Rt 16 before turning off to go home. I thought perhaps she was still alive so I hit the brakes & checked her out. She was dead & if it hadn't been for the little bit of snow, I'd never had seen her. I don't think yotes ever got to her since she was there like that for quite a while. Such a sad sight.
