Now blondieblondie is healthy again.

Looking at the footage, I can see why the rangers thought he’d been hit by a bullet. The hole in his head was perfectly round and looked like an injury caused by a man made weapon. Though I guess if it was a bullet, him being hit in the head would’ve resulted in death, but they wanted to be sure I guess. 

I’m surprised they didn’t muzzle Blondie while conducting the procedure. I seem to recall when the snare was removed from Red Road they had him muzzled, even though he had been tranquilized, I’m guessing as an extra layer of precaution? 

Anyway, glad they at least checked to make sure his injury was unnatural and treated it. Glad Blondie is okay now. Reply
