Dentry, Ed Study Hints Nutrition, not Coyotes, to Blame in Mule Deer Decline. Rocky Mountain News

"Human development, fire prevention and other unnatural alterations of the landscape appear to have resulted in habitat so nutritionally scant that doe deer are unable to rear healthy fawns."

"At least half of the fawns that died during the first year of the ongoing study starved to death or succumbed to a variety of diseases."

"The finger points to poor, aging, shrinking communities of sagebrush, forbs and shrubs- precisely the same conclusion Wyoming researchers came to after similar research."
