On these studies, how do they know the wolf, coyote, cat... Is killing the deer and not feeding on an animal that died of natural causes?

Probably because of the number of deer they are feeding on, or the age of the deer. How many deer have you run across in the woods that have died from natural causes, vs. other causes? Unless you consider predators natural causes, then you'd be correct!  |

You don't because they get eaten. Just leaves me scratching my head. I've read that somewhere in the neighborhood of 85% of first year does lose their fawns, most just dont raise them. How do they know that coyote or whatever didn't just pick that dead fawn up and carry it back to the den. I don't doubt these predators prey on deer fawns, just have a hard time believing it's as high as some studies are saying.
