Good point there, Ron, regarding vermin on the animal. That reminds me: wear gloves when skinning animals such as raccoons. There is a remote possibility for the transmission of blood-borne pathogens, in this case from roadkill animal to human animal. The risk of transmission of a blood-borne pathogen from human animal to the other animal exists among living animals, thus, doesn't apply in this roadkill scenario. I went back and edited the post. Thanks, Mark

Well, you know Turpin, I am so far behind on so many things that I hate to say: It is going to be some time before this fawn starts his next life as a sporran. It will probably join ranks with the armadillo, red fox, possum and coon in the library, at least for a while. Maybe winter?
