Bowery isn't typically on the hunting season set's radar, but CityNoise just posted a shot of a dead deer in front of the New Museum (there's a more graphic angle on Flickr). PETA is not going to like this. We called the museum to get some answers (is the carcass part of some new exhibit? Is it a disgusting prank they weren't aware of?), but so far all they're willing to give up is that it appeared around 1:30 p.m. on Sunday (however, these photos seem to have been taken on Wednesday. Dun Dun Dun!). We'll update when they get back to us with more info. Stay tuned!

In NJ, a bicyclist is in critical condition after being hit by a deer. According to the AP, George Ljutich, who was cycling with Cynthia Mooney, in Hopewell Township when a car hit a deer, which then went flying into the Ljutich's and Mooney's path. The AP reports, "Ljutich was thrown from the bike and struck his head on the pavement. Mooney sustained cuts and bruises"--and they were both wearing helmets. There have been some other recent incidents where deer have collided into people in NJ, but a state DEP spokesperson said, "Based on what's known about deer behavior, there's nothing occurring within the herd right now that might explain these accidents."
