is deer a protected animal all over assam ? I think atleast in reserved forests it is considered off-limits. Yet I am sure the vast majority of us have enjoyed venison in small amts often sent by uncles posted in remote 'project sites' . the local 'tribals' who inhabit these areas certainly arent shy of nabbing a good meal. the bodo insurgents who made life impossible in Manas forest wantonly killed all manner of animals using automatic guns - I have seen photo of three such rebels holding aloft dead pangolin and such. and I am sure the armymen posted in remote places will grab a banned meal on the sly.
the case seems like mistaken identity - the deer didnt have a hand woven ABSU shawl wrapped around its shoulder...party thought wild deer strayed into village lets grab it.
I would classify it as similar to axomiya young hostelers stealing goats, fish and chickens for bihu feast - and not yet another deep rooted conspiracy *sigh*
