Bambi

Ann and I found these very young deer remains on our property about 100 yards from our house last week.  The vultures had already had their way with it so there was no clear sign of how it died.  No obvious broken leg or any thing unusual we could see.   A few years ago we found a dead Bambi not far from it's dead mother which evidently starved to death without her, so that is a possibility.  Or maybe it somehow got lost from her, or had some kind of birth defect or illness.  Whatever the cause, this was another one of the frequent messages we get from Mother Nature about how hard life often is for critters in the hill country.  And everywhere.
