There really shouldn't be much blood in a situation like this. The deer probably had internal bleeding and thats where the blood is, in the carcass. When you see a really bloody one on the highway, its been opened up in some way. To get tossed like that the deer was probably just nicked by a high speed train while it was leaping. There isn't much muscle tissue below the knees so you wouldn't necessarily get much if any blood there, especially if the heart stopped before the legs were lost. I was wondering if the legs were burned off by high voltage but they look sheared...

Are there any train freaks in attendance here? If I'm not mistaken the poles and wires we see are not rural power but rather old fashioned rail communication/power lines for switching etc...
