    Yikes. Are all those dead deer from THIS winter?

    Judging by the relatively intact state of those carcasses, they don’t look like wolf kills to me. Coyotes could only bring down bucks that size under extraordinary circumstances.

    What killed those deer?

    Grouse

    My guess is … EHD, Vehicles, Bad shots during season, or poachers. But thats just my guesses as a few were in water and a few were close to roads.

    This is my first year I’ve actually spent quite a bit of time looking. Most stay with the landowners. I do have a collection I’m starting but aren’t sure what I’m going to do with them or how to display them
