Check out whom the mule deer specialist is...
And note the first 15 weeks cause

Although they immediately somewhat dismiss it
Yup, Cougars, Bears and Landscape Alteration certainly top the list.
Ironic the wolves weren't on the top isn't it.

Let me add something else I recently heard, but it would be nice if anyone from the study can confirm this fact, so take it
as "What I recently heard", not a fact.

I was told that recently that 12 Fawns were (Maybe Doe as well) were collared not too long ago, and that only 2 of the 12
have survived.
No idea of the causes (but if the study is correct so far, then its more of the usual suspects).
And again, this wasn't a direct conversation, but a thru word of mouth and I think from one of the ranch hands???
