Ok, so maybe I should have explained a little. We (Duston, Kori and I) were out monitoring the deer that were collared. When there is a dead deer, or one who hasn't moved for 6 hours, the transmitter sends out a signal that is different. Since these radio collars cost up to $500 we go track down the deer and retrieve the collar. We also take the opportunity to assess the situation and the cause of death. We originally thought the fawn died somewhere completely different and once we got on the right track it was still quite a far hike to get to it. The picture is kind of in mockery of us wandering around the hillside looking for this scavenged fawn. I'm holding the radio transmitter and "looking" for the deer...

In case you are interested, we decided this fawn died of starvation and then was scavenged by coyotes. We came to this conclusion because not too far away was a melted down bed area as if it had lay down to die. Also, there was no blood on the fur or in the snow which means the deer was dead before it was eaten. Also the bone marrow was red and jello like which is an indicator of malnutrition. We decided it was coyotes that ate it because they like to chew the ribs out. Unlike mountain lions who will tear up the skull and also break all the large bones and eat the marrow. Oh, and one more important fact: when I say "we decided" I really mean that Duston told us...
